Body Work And Repair Methods In Aluminum Vehicles (Ford F-150)
In this Aluminum Channel™ exclusive interview, Doug Richman, Chairman of the Aluminum Association’s Automotive Truck Group Committee, explains that the same skill sets are needed to repair aluminum panels as are needed to repair steel, even though the procedures are different. The network of certified aluminum repair facilities supported by OEMs is already in place to help cope with the steady growth of aluminum in vehicle bodies. Ford F-150 owners should keep this in mind if their trucks need body repair work. OEMs are keeping reparability in mind in their designs.
