Default Hi From The Tarheel State

Hello,
My name is JC Brittain and I live in Claremont NC. I have been building racecars since I was 18 years old and I am now 38. I have always loved learning new ways to fabricate and work sheetmetal. I just hope that I don't drive you guys crazy asking questions but I firmly believe that a person can never know to much about there chosin skill and its hard to learn if you are afraid to ask questions. My son and I are currently working on a 1967 Chevy II, it is our first father and son project ( he is 5 years old ) I had planned to wait until he was a little older but everytime he came to the shop he kept asking when we were going to start working on it so I finally gave in, what can I do i'm a complete softy when it comes to my son. Anyway I look forward to getting to know you guys and look forward to learning all I can from you.
Thanks
JC

Default new to site In greensboro

Hi new to site and live just out side greensboro. I was referred to site by fellow at yellow bullet. I was lookinf ro idea on best way to approach a rear body for FED Im building. The closest thing to it would be Adam Sorokins new Nostalgia top fueler.

I have build few raccars and ran alky funny and dragster for about ten years. Our funnycar would be better knownWe ran it thought eastern half US.

Like said point of vist to site is to see if can get some ideas how to best approach b uilding the rear section. I have few and a little fabtrication experiance. The multiple contours and trying to make it one piece with as few welds as possible have made this a good test to say the least. Figure maybe few here might be helpful and your being local doesn't hurt well same state. ANY IDEAS?
