introduction
 

Hi,
I am Rick Mullin. I have been in the automotive restoration and coachbuilding trade for almost 40 years. I have spent most of that time devoted to exotics and Rolls-Royce. I am factory trained and certified with Ferrari, Lamborghini and Audi.

I left a long standing job as a manager and fabricator to start my own business in 2010. I specialize in coachbuilding of all marques. Although aluminum is my primary material in sheet form, I work in all metals (steel, German silver, stainless, etc) as well as, wooden body structure and space frame chassis construction. I have a fully equipped shop which allows me to perform some interesting and fun projects.

I know some of the people here from other forums of years past. It will be good to re-acquaint myself with them and meet new folks as well. I am passionate about my trade and am looking forward to sharing information and learning from this very talented group.

Welcome Rick!! I've followed your posts in the past and am happy to have the opportunity to see more here.

Hi Rick, welcome to the site!.

Thank you for the warm welcome.

As soon as I have some spare time, I am going to learn how to post pictures. J Clear has attempted to teach me but I am not very computer oriented. I am trying to improve however.

In the interim, a brief description of what is going on in the shop will have to suffice. Re-bodying the exterior and much structure of a pre-A Porsche speedster, fabricating the front end of a DB4 and metal finishing the rest of the car, fabricating a new space frame for a Lamborghini Miura, finishing up the body restoration of a Cloud III Rolls, fabricating alloy heat shields for an Alvis, fabricating a German silver radiator for a PI Rolls, fabricating the trunk spare well for another DB4, re-skinning a DB5, assembling the body on a MGTC race car that I metal finished, finishing up some details on another Cloud III and some ornamental parts for repairs and polishing.

It isn't as crowded as it sounds. I have tried to keep some of them staged at different points such that a few are at the upholstery shop or engine shop, etc. It is a little crazy here but I am blessed that I have the work when I know that a lot of shops are slow.
