Hello all,
I found this forum yesterday while searching for info on car body restoration. Looks to be a wealth of valuable info including shared experiences of members.
I have restored a number of E Types over the years and I have recently started on the restoration of a 1968 Aston Martin DB6 (which is in a pretty bad way). I plan to repair the body myself. The steel platform chassis and internal structure should not present too many problems, although I expect repairing the aluminium outer skins to be more of a challenge.
Given the above, I will no doubt be seeking advice from forum as work progresses.
I hope to post progress, although I expect the work to take a couple of years.
Look forward to sharing experiences.
Chris

Hello Chris, welcome to the forum. Restoring a DB6 Body is no small task. I have done several DB5's. Its an ambitious project.

David, i bought your DVD mid 2012 (best money I have spent in a long time !) and was inspired to tackle the bodywork.
Ambitious it may be, but if I don't try I will never know if I can do it !
