Hi Fintan. Ive seen a bit of your stuff One in particular that struck me was the model A sedan hot rod. That was a really nice motor with great metalwork. I for one am looking forward to any posts you might find the time to add showing your methods and the results of your skills. Dont hold back Im sure a lot of folk, like me are inspired by professional metalshapers like yourself. Looking forward to your contributions.

Hi Fintan, We have never met but I am familiar with your work. I know Paul.... Or I did many years ago!. Welcome to allmetalshaping.

Ian I believe the 'A' was done by Paul who works for Fintan and it is Pauls car.

Fintan:

Is there a photo of the "A" that is mentioned. Or for that matter any other projects, finished or in progress. Do you have a web site?
