Les Edmundson (Oldtin) from Michigan

[oldtin]

I didn't even realize I had not made a post here! I have talked to many of you either in person at past gatherings or on the interweb. I consider myself a novice metalshaper, but here lately I'm wondering if I could be better classified as a ROOKIE!
Same story as most others here have..... I have more dreams than time or money to complete, but I'm still hammering away towards the end goal of completion of more projects than one should have.

Hi Les, good to hear from you again. What ever happened to the ZM2? Seen Charlie Kish lately?

[oldtin]

Hi Kerry, I still have the wireform and all the related CAD data for the ZM2. I don't know what happened to the panels and buck, probably recycled into new cold roll by now. When I get caught up I would like another go at it, but this tiime in aluminum.

I haven't heard from Charlie lately, I need to rattle his cage and see what he's been up to.

I've followed along on some of your builds, both tool and project related, I must say the roadster and Monique are great projects and well done.

I actually saved a couple of mannequins from dumpster fate, but compared to Monique they look anerexic.

That would be a perfect application for a Burt buck over the wireform. Pulling FSPs would make the panels infinitely easier to make. At least for some of us. That'd be a great project for a regional meet.

I used to see him post on MM once in a while. If you talk to him, invite him over.

I look forward to meeting you some day Old Tin! I'm not far from you in Mich. Sounds like you have some neat projects.

Here are some photos from Sun-n-Fun 2002. These were taken by Terry Cowan. I lost most of my photos with a computer meltdown. These are of the buck and making FSP's of the ZM-2 roadster.
