Getting an a in aluminum #70000A
If you've already conquered welding and metal finishing steel, you're ready to try "Getting an A in Aluminum, Welding Aluminum Sheet with Gas and TIG". Aluminum is different than steel. It requires pretty good welding skills and some special techniques. This booklet follows the same approach as the other two. It provides simple explanations of the technology involved and then leads you step-by-step through simple exercises to master gas and TIG welding on annealed aluminum body panels. Again, you can grade your own work and get an "A" if you practice, practice, practice.
Instructional Books by Kent Caveny

He is now planning on going to Europe to work on airplane restoration. Along with being a researcher and engineer, Kent is also a certified car nut. He is currently reassembling and restoring the sheet metal on a '59 Porsche 356 Cabriolet. He is also looking forward to restoring the body and building the chassis for a '27 T Roadster.
