He was Aston Martin trained coach builder and his work is a thing of beauty.
His lightweight E Type bonnets are made in 9 pieces if I recall correctly and all welded with gas.
He uses the same technique as David Gardiner (who frequents this very forum) shows on steel in his excellent DVD, which was the best £30 I ever spent.

Great stuff, would love to meet Geoff , he’s old school no messing about 🇬🇧, have seen one of has Alloy bonnets close up .... very very nice.
You were talking about Geoff not using offcuts of the parent metal..... Does he prefer proprietary Brands..... 1100 or 4030 ?.
