Hey there guys, I've been working on a modified old car called a Holden Torana for the last few years, and recently started to do some work with Peter Tommasini on adapting/creating a sunroof in the roof of the car.

He talks about the forum regularly, so I wanted to see what it was all about.

My skills are reasonably limited self-taught stuff. I normally spend about 20hrs a week working on my car project, but a lot of the work has been machining, fitting, and general metal fabrication (AC/DC TIG and some dirty MIG work). I've got some cheap hammers and dollies that I've used to make rust repair panels and a transmission tunnel, but no serious tools like English wheels or planishing hammers! Haha. I would consider myself very green in that area.

Invention is a combination of brains and materials.
The more brains you use, the less materials you need.
