Default Hi From Winston-Salem, NC

Good morning all.

Some of you I've written to over the years, or you know me from my posts on other forums. I'm now retired so I can spend a lot more time learning metal work. I've watched David Gardiner's and Pete Tommasini's videos TO DEATH...as well as many others. I went to Metal Meet in Oblong two years ago, and am going to try to get up to the Jalopy Showdown in two weeks.

My current project is a Bugatti Baby (Type 52) replica. Not an exact reproduction (no castings), but a reasonable facsimile. I've got the frame and powerplant done, and have started the body. I'm using .063 3003 instead of the original steel. I'll post photos in the near future.
