Introducing myself, from Southwest Florida...

[Randy Forbes]

Hi all, Randy here!

I've been playing with cars, almost exclusively 2-seat sportscars, for over forty (>40) years. While I've never attempted to fabricate too complex of a shape, I've done my share of making up patch-panels for rust/collision repair and modifications.

I'm sure I don't have much to offer in the way of tips and metal shaping skills, so I'll be doing a lot more listening than talking.

Not fully retired, though I do get to stay home and play with cars all day; I have a shop built behind my house, and people from all over the US send me their BMW M Coupes & Rdstrs for me to work on. I also fabricate a reinforcement component for the car's Achilles Heel, a weak trunkfloor/differential mount, and ship them all over the world (they're on 6 of 7 continents, and if somebody can prove they have one of these cars in Antarctica, I'll send them their kit for free!).

The blue one front and center, is mine (fitted with a Eurosport twinscrew supercharger), but the rest were only here for me to do work on, then they'll be shipped or driven back to their respective states.



I also have a couple of the topless versions, '99 & '01 M Roadsters (the '99 is also about 450 bhp/supercharged) and I've had this old 1957 Austin-Healey for a little over thirty-seven (>37) years.



That's my story, and I'm sticking to it
