Default Another from Down under

Hi, i'm yet another from Ozclubbies who has been recommended to join up with you. My name is John Steiner, but everyone calls me Kaspa.
I'm 65 a retired diesel mechanic who loves building race cars.
to date ive built a few lotus sevens, a couple of 98 Joest LMP1 Porches, and a 1967 BT24 Brabham F1 car. and the next project is a GT40 which will be my own little baby.
although I did 3 years of a 4 year apprenticeship as a boilermaker my sheet metal skills leave a we bit to be desired, so I will be looking and learning all I can.
cheers Kaspa

Hi John!

He does very impressive work and is remarkably quick about it as well.

Hi John and welcome. Your sheet metal skills don't leave to be desired to me. That No' 24 car is beautiful.

Cheers John

John the only pieces of that car that are metal are the chassis tubes, the body is an original fibre glass body, i'm no where near that good.
