Hey guys,

My name is Bart. I've been a member over at allshops for a couple years, more as an observer than anything else, and I'm a HAMB member, which is how I found this site. I started working with metal in 2004, I have most of the basic hand tools, and I'm starting to work on getting some equipment together so I can start doing some bigger jobs. I worked in a restoration shop for 5 years doing a lot of metal work with very limited tools, now I'm ready to start working a little more smart and less hard.

I have a bad habit of not taking pics of my work, but here are a few from a couple years back.

Swallow Doretti. . . an odd one. If I remember right there were around 265 made. Aluminum front and rear fenders, aluminum hood over a steel frame, the main tub and doors were steel. All on a triumph chassis. . .

That's one I've never heard of. Got any photos of a complete car?

Bart, welcome and thanks for posting some of your old project. Looking forward to seeing some of your new projects. Many of us have a problem remembering to take pictures so don't feel alone.
