Default Winston Churchill Fellowship

Hello everyone,
As some of you may know I am a young Australian guy and I have received a Winston Churchill Fellowship to travel the world to further my knowledge on coachbuilding and traditional panel beating techniques. I will be starting my trip on 9th Aug 2017. I have majority of my itinerary locked in but have a few days here and there that I would like to fill with any recommendations of places and things I should from you guys.
Please let me know anything or anyone you think I should go and visit while on my travels.


My trip so far is as follows
Boston/ Charlton – Wray Schelin Proshaper
Pebble Beach for 4 days
Los Angeles – Steve Hogue Enterprises
Detroit
UK – Goodwood revival
Shropshire – Southan Metalcraft
Newport Pagnell – Aston Martin Works
Bologna – Still trying to find a workshop to work in
Rome


Also if you live in any of these areas and would be interested in accommodating a young Australian on the trip of his lifetime please feel free to message me as well. I will pay you for accommodation of course.

Anything else you can think of please feel free to leave a comment.

I will probably use this post as a place to upload all my experiences while on my trip so check back here to follow along. And also I will be on Instagram as Precious_Metal_

Thanks

Kip Mcintyre

Sounds like you're going to have a blast. I know for sure you will enjoy your time at Wray's shop. Hes a master and very nice guy!

Hey Kip,Gilmore car museum is a world class auto museum about 1.5 hours west of Detroit that you might want to check out. It is in Hickory corners Michigan.Bob
