Metal Basher from UK
 

Hi Im Simon from Manchester England I have been a panel beater for 28 years restoring and building vintage and classic car bodywork.

Came across this site the other day and think its fantastic how so many guys are picking up tools and having a go with amazing results.

I also find it interesting how it is being achieved with the different ideas and tools , I don't think you should ever stop learning.

I cant work out how to put some pics up on here but I have a face book page simon isles coachbuilding

Welcome Simon, thanks for the introduction. Lots of Brits here now.

You should be able to post photos not that you're a full member. We're looking forward to seeing some of your work.

Welcome to Allmetalshaping Simon!:)

Nice work !!

That's an impressive C.V. :)

Cool work
 

Hi Simon welcome from one of the many Brit's here some cool work you've done there . Sure you will fit in real well here. The last pic look's alot like a lotus 6 ? If so a friend of mine run's Chris Rea's 6 and fezza and is in the process of building a second 6 for him . Don't look quite as nice as your car there but then again they get raced hard :)

Cheers Chris C

Beautiful!!!!!

Hi David thanks for the comments you also have some very nice work there, do you know Terry who works at the Colchester institute? I have met him many times at various car shows. I also used to teach metal shaping at Manchester College (MANCAT) evening classes for three years then full time for one year, that was enough for me!! but did teach wheeling courses in Germany for ten years, that was fun.

Simon

Lovly work mate!!
Wish I had the space and the time!!

Looking forward to some more pics!!!!

Cheers

Simon I dont know a Terry who works at Colchester Institute. Do you have a last name for him? What did he teach or do there? To my knowledge no- one named Terry was involved in the restoration courses.

David
