Hello. Just joined here today. I have a welding/fabricating shop making mostly agricultural equipment. I have been restoring cars for myself as a hobby for 15 years now. I would like to start doing more custom builds and build on my metal shaping skills. My end goal is to build a copy of a kellison x300gt fiberglass body I have.

Marc

Welcome Marc. That is a pretty rare body and should look great in aluminum.

Default Thanks

Thanks for the welcome messages. I am greatly looking forward to building the kellison. I have never built a complete car body, just small panels. So I imagine I will rely on experts here for insight and suggestions.
