New guy from UK

[dwmh]

Hi I am Dave from near Oxford in the UK. I am now retired from the Formula One Industry. Ex Lola, Renard, Benetton, Arrows, Renault, Lotus,Ferrari. I worked in R&D laterly on seven post rig testing/circuit simulation. Many years ago I had a bodyshop, but always wanted to do proper metalshaping, rather than bash it straight and skim with lead or filler.
I have studied the work of the French Art Deco coachbuilders and wanted to be able to replicate their work. Having made some panels for my E-type Jaguar I have got the bug seriously and can't stop buying kit. I am currently making a larger steel fuel tank for my Norton Commando using a stump,sandbag,E-wheel
TIG welder and bead roller. I have just bought an old Vibro Shear nibbler and am about to make some dies for it and convert to single phase power.
I Hope I've not rambled on too much.
Regards Dave
