About this title

About the Authors

Author of forty-plus titles, Timothy Remus started his adult life as an automotive mechanic. After fifteen years in the trade Timothy gradually spent less time working on cars and more time assembling printed material - first a regional motorcycle magazine, then a series of books for Motorbooks, and finally as publisher of his own how-to books. Tim's books include a Twin-Cam book, a long series of Custom Painting and Pinstriping tiles, a group of sheet metal and fabrication books, and another group of Chopper How-To, Harley-Davidson titles and Customize Your Motorcycle series.

Rob Roehl has worked for famous bike builder Donnie Smith for thirty years. He can design, shape in either steel or aluminum, and build sheet metal that stands up to the vibration of a custom Harley-Davidson. Rob is one of the few fabricators who can build a sexy, curvy gas tank from scratch in either metal. Rob is also a very talented TIG welder. When it comes to fabrication and sheet metal, there is much that Rob can't do.
