Hi Guys

Tom's the name, home is North Devon, England. I'm a retiring tool maker looking for answers, and hope 40+ yrs in plastic mould making will help me thru.

I have registered after reading Kerry Pinkerton's The Art Deco Imperial Project which I found gripping, and would recommend to anyone interested in tin bashing.

My username came about some 6yrs ago after entering into a 5 series BMW Cobra build hense Z5.

Currently looking into building a wooden buck for a 427 Aluminium body project.

Happy Times

Cheers.

Hello from Texas. Grab a hammer and start pounding. Post pictures of anything you are working on. I like to see other peoples work and their approach to it.

Welcome Tom. Glad you're enjoying the roadster build.

Please post photos of your buck build. This is an area that is in need of considerable discussion and documentation in the metalshaping community.
