Hi There
my name is Trevor Booth, I live in a small village in the blue mountains west of Sydney in the land down under. I am a mechanical engineer , and a devoted car nut. I am currently restoring a rear engined sports racing car built in 1963. The car is missing the upper body and so me being old and somewhat senile I thought I can make that.
I could do it in FRP easy - but what the heck it was aluminium (aluminum) originally So here I am to learn how.

Welcome mate. Be sure to start a thread in the Automotive section on it.
