Default Flying Low..

Hi, My name is Marco, from Eindhoven (the netherlands).

For over 15 years I am working on vw beetles and busses. Mostly drop-and-drive projects, but also some body off resto's.

As my father was a metal fabricator/welder I played with metal and fabrication since I was young (building bikes). But the real deal started with the vw.s

The last years I changed my focus on fiberglass (356 speedsters and coupe), but nothing can beat the steel.

So a month ago i bought a porsch356A (or what was left of it), so main focus now is improving/learning some more metal skills to do most of the fabrication myself.

I have been to Ben;s metalshaping shop now 2 times, and as I know I will never reach that level in the next yeaaaaaaars, I guess I can always practice.

someday it will be perfect (for me)

Hope to have a outlaw driver next season..

Thanks
Marco
