Default Hi from Niagara Falls Canada

Hi guys!

My name is Nick and yes... I'm from the great white north. I've been learning the art of metal shaping for just over 10 years. I started out with a set of about 9 hammers, some dollies, and a 3/4" rubber mat and things have kinda evolved from there. However, it seems that the more I learn the more I discover there is to learn to controlling the movement of metal. I'd like to extend my hand in appreciation for letting me join a site where members enjoy taking the time to share their metal shaping knowledge and experiences.

Cheers!

Hi Nick, Hows the car coming? Last time I saw you online, you were planning some major revisions.

Good evening Mr. Pinkerton,

Yes it has been a long time - things are going well..busy busy. I hope life is treating you well too.

In regards to revisions, the mid-engine Merlot colored car you saw on the other site before the big crash has a new powerplant installed which suits it's characteristics a little better. My dad and I installed a reverse rotation 375HP SBC350 last spring. Makes driving the vehicle more interesting

I'm also in the midst of fabricating a fresh sheet of paper design mid-engine sports car. There were things about the first that..well.. I really wanted to change...and it didn't make sense to cut it up after having just finished it.

After I get the feel of the site better, I'd like to share some appropriate material if I may.

Good to 'see' you around again.
