Default Coachbuilding

Hi Folks
I come from Auckland, New Zealand and have been working in this industry for over 40 years.
I started out in 1969 as an apprentice panelbeater/coachbuilder, I had to start out in a crash shop as there were no dedicated restoration shops even back then.
My technical college tutors used to conduct night classes for do it yourself enthusiasts, so I started there to learn how to make bodies.
After I had been working for about 20 years doing restoration on steel cars I met a very clever local who was a master at aluminum and luckily for me he agreed to teach me.After working with him for about 5 years he came and worked for me for another 10 years, so I feel very fortunate to have had the experience.
I am looking to pass on the knowledge via the internet and was wondering if anyone would be interested some ongoing instruction?
You can see a small sample of what I have been up to on my web site www.car-restoration.com, I have a lot more on dropbox but I haven't worked out how to send it to anyone.

Cheers..........Alan Bowden
