Hi Guys,

Well don't I wish!

I AM a car guy. but am actually time poor and financially wounded

I have been in the Auto Industry all of my working life (about 25 years) I began my career as a panel beater (body guy) then by necessity a spray painter and then (now) a body maker moving away from smash repairs into restoration. I have done some teaching at tafe at both trade and hobby levels but as the clock ticks I find I am the one hungry to learn.

It seems the clock is ticking a whole lot faster than it did 20 years ago!

I am a car guy with a diverse passion for so many different eras in Automotive design. One minute I have a lust for old Porsche's the next a desire for pre-war Maserati. Hot Rods, Street machines , customs etc.

It seems as I may suffer from auto schizophrenia, but I am sure I am not alone?

The reason I am posting this? I love moving metal. I think I do OK but I want more!

I truly believe that my success as tradesman is a result of learning from those I have worked with. Taking a bit from here and a bit from there and mixing it with my own is what I am.

Mixing it up with members of this forum will no doubt build on my knowledge and I will hopefully be able to give some back too.

In reading some posts on this forum I know I am in some excellent company and look forward to learning from you guys and If I am lucky enough meet some of you too.

Thanks for reading my 2 red wine spiel !
