Hi there. new one on board. I am an engine machinist, auto restoration specialist and metal fab guy for some time now (about 40+yrs.). I also run an engine dyno. Have been the manager for 31+yrs. I have been involved w/sheetmetal but want to take it to a much, much higher level. Thanks for this great forum. I know i will get great help and hope to be of some help. Thanks

John, welcome and thanks for the introduction. I am sure you have some tricks you can teach us. Looking forward to seeing some of your sheet metal shaping projects. Thanks for joining us.

Thanks guys for the welcome wagon !! banzaitoyota, we have a Stuska 800 H.P. dyno. As we speak, it has a Austin Healey tri-carb engine on it. I will have to get some pics together of a MGTD body we completely rebuilt. The outer steel skin is formed over a wooden frame. Replacing much of the wooden frame & then shaping outer sheet metal skin over it was much fun. We are in the starting phase of a custom motorcycle build. Drawing the sheet metal look & getting approved by customer will take a while. Keep you posted when the physical work starts. Hey, We have a Nolan Metalmaster T100 w/ 3/4" tooling size and have no tooling. We will be making some, but don't have a problem of buying some. Any suggestions ?? Thanx again, John
