Some of his clients over the years include the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, Boeing , Rockwell, Mission Research, SOCOM, and the Department of Forestry to name a few. He\u2019s been a stuntman, actor, and stunt coordinator for many movies and TV shows. Need a shark? Eddie has built them for the Cousteaus and the Discovery Channel. Need some tools? Eddie\u2019s shop builds many for the Eastwood Company including their English wheel and planishing hammer kit. The works most people will recognize though are all the vehicles Eddie\u2019s shop has produced over the years for countless movies, TV shows, and commercials. A short list includes the cars from Grease, the original Dukes of Hazard stunt cars, the stunt chopped Mercs for <a title=\"Gnarly Cobra trailer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ObUuFsYgyGE\" target=\"_blank\">Cobra<\/a>, various cars for CHiPS, Triple X\u2019s custom \u201967 GTO, the custom Crown Victoria taxis in Taxi, all the vehicles in The Fast and the Furious, over 200 cars for 2Fast 2Furious, and the list goes on and on.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Sheet Metal Fabrication Cover\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/sheet_metal_fabrication.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[753]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px;\" title=\"Sheet Metal Fabrication Cover\" alt=\"Sheet Metal Fabrication Cover\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/sheet_metal_fabrication.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"386\" align=\"right\" hspace=\"10\" \/><\/a>Eddie, being the great guy that he is, has started sharing much of his wisdom through the many books and instructional DVDs he authors.

While the book is geared more to the novice fabricator, as the title suggest there are tips for all levels. The book is well rounded with sections on metallurgy, tool selection, pattern making, techniques, and examples. The 525+ full color photos (Yes, I counted them) make it easy to follow along. Some of the examples include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creating custom Frenched headlights<\/li>\n<li>Fabricating a four-link rear<\/li>\n<li>Chopping 6 inches from a \u201940 Ford<\/li>\n<li>Interior trunk panels for a \u201950 Mercury &amp;<\/li>\n<li>Extending the hood on a \u201972 Mustang.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With this book, as with all of Eddie\u2019s books, Eddie tries to inspire the reader to learn, try, and not be scared to make mistakes. The book makes for a great rainy weekend read while you wait for the UPS man to arrive with parts on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Eddie Paul creating a shark\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/deadlinetv-04.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[753]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 4px;\" title=\"Eddie Paul creating a shark\" alt=\"Eddie Paul creating a shark\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/deadlinetv-04.thumbnail.jpg\" width=\"85\" height=\"128\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"Eddie Paul with \u201850 Mercury\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/deadlinetv-06.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[753]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 4px;\" title=\"Eddie Paul with Cobra \u201850 Mercury\" alt=\"Eddie Paul with Cobra \u201850 Mercury\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/deadlinetv-06.thumbnail.jpg\" width=\"128\" height=\"102\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"Hot Rod and Chic from DeadlineTV.net\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/deadlinetv-01.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[753]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"margin: 4px;\" title=\"Hot Rod and Chic from DeadlineTV.net\" alt=\"Hot Rod and Chic from DeadlineTV.net\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/07\/deadlinetv-01.thumbnail.jpg\" width=\"128\" height=\"85\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can often find Eddie Paul on the forum of one of his websites, <a rel=\"no follow\" title=\"DeadlineTV&#039;s home page - Videos and Forums\" href=\"http:\/\/www.deadlinetv.net\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\">DeadlineTV.net<\/a>.
