Default G'day

G'day,

I am from Perth Western Australia, I have a scratch build car project with an aluminium body. Recently got my hands on a few tools including an English wheel.

Thanks for the welcome. I design boats for a living, so yes I'm a CAD guy. I have been wanting to build a car from scratch for… a long time, but I have made actual progress in the last 12 months or so with an aluminium chassis under way, rear suspension engine etc. At some point I decided to do an aluminium body. (Peter your partly to blame, I saw one of your videos on YouTube). So I have got myself some tools and had a bit of a play just to get a feel for how it works and so far so good, I think that my design is going to be buildable and I'm looking forward to getting into it.

Take care, Damien
