4.00 Credits
Introduction to the theory and practical skills needed to restore a vehicle to original equipment manufacturers' (OEM) specifications. Study includes the use of today's technologies in durability and preservation in conjunction with era-specific authenticity from the 1900s through 1972, with attention to the history of designs, styles, and trends. Processes used when restoring a vehicle will be in accordance to era-specific options. Additional study includes the requirements for safe highway vehicle operation under Pennsylvania inspection codes.
Prerequisite:
RST 101
-
3.00 Credits
Application of metal fabrication techniques. Topics include use of basic metal shaping hand tools such as mallets, slapper shot bags, finishing hammer dollies, and (T) dollies. Instruction on other metal shaping equipment includes English wheels, shrinking & stretching equipment, bead rollers, sheet metal brake, rotary shears, press brake, and basic operation of a power hammer. Correct selection of materials will be stressed and a final project reflecting use of many techniques is required.
