Default Hello from the North... Canada eh!
Hello everyone,

I am from Vancouver, BC, Canada. I have been racing and fabricating cars as a hobby for over 10 years. I never really got into sheet metal work until recently while trying to finish my own car. It was always couple of other friends that worked in that field.

I find the work exciting and challenging at the same time and hoping to learn a few things here and pick up some great ideas!

If interested, you can check out the progress of the car, pretty much 100% of the work is done by yours truly!

Cheers,
Omid

Thank you Rick! Looking around, there are some really talented people on here... saw some crazy complex aluminum panels with multi-directional curves. Time for a english wheel perhaps!

Omid, Welcome, If I ever get my new shop finished I'll be having a Meet in Chilliwack and you could come out and play with and english wheel and other neat toys, as well as learn from some talented people. I raced a RX2 in the late seventies at Westwood.

Thanks for the welcoming everyone!

Doug, would love to come by the shop when it is done! That's awesome about the RX-2. Did it have a 12a in it?
