Hi metalshapers,
My name is Mile, 28 years old, I live in France (North-East)
Interesting about metalshaping, I believe to learn more techniques and tips from you guys, by this forum.
I've build my own Kustom Scooter during last 2 years,
using sheet metal, Mig, hammer and dollies... and many hours of hard work !
The Scooter base was a rusty '55 French Vespa called Acma V55 that I've customized all the parts in steel to create a Tribute to the Big Daddy's Outlaw Show Rod.
I've participate at 1st European Hot Rod and Custom Show at Chimay (BELGIUM) last 24 June 2012 and win 2 trophees;
Meguiar's Best bicycle and Powerglide magazine's Best Bike Award !
This experience made me discovering metalshaping techniques and today I want to do it for my Job !
I'll learn the next 9 Months metalwork, metalshaping, O/A welding and frame fabrication in the college...
During this time, I'll restore my Flamed '40 Ford std Coupe survivor from Michigan, that have been customised in the early 50's in a body shop in Kentucky !...
The rust got to be fixed, the floor made brand new and the frame boxed.
By the future I may need some help about you, so let me thank you to take the time to read this introduction.
Mile
