introduction
Hi,
I am Rick Mullin. I have been in the automotive restoration and coachbuilding trade for almost 40 years. I have spent most of that time devoted to exotics and Rolls-Royce. I am factory trained and certified with Ferrari, Lamborghini and Audi. I left a long standing job as a manager and fabricator to start my own business in 2010. I specialize in coachbuilding of all marques. Although aluminum is my primary material in sheet form, I work in all metals (steel, German silver, stainless, etc) as well as, wooden body structure and space frame chassis construction. I have a fully equipped shop which allows me to perform some interesting and fun projects. I know some of the people here from other forums of years past. It will be good to re-acquaint myself with them and meet new folks as well. I am passionate about my trade and am looking forward to sharing information and learning from this very talented group. Rick Mullin

Thank you for the warm welcome.
As soon as I have some spare time, I am going to learn how to post pictures. J Clear has attempted to teach me but I am not very computer oriented. I am trying to improve however. In the interim, a brief description of what is going on in the shop will have to suffice. Re-bodying the exterior and much structure of a pre-A Porsche speedster, fabricating the front end of a DB4 and metal finishing the rest of the car, fabricating a new space frame for a Lamborghini Miura, finishing up the body restoration of a Cloud III Rolls, fabricating alloy heat shields for an Alvis, fabricating a German silver radiator for a PI Rolls, fabricating the trunk spare well for another DB4, re-skinning a DB5, assembling the body on a MGTC race car that I metal finished, finishing up some details on another Cloud III and some ornamental parts for repairs and polishing. It isn't as crowded as it sounds. I have tried to keep some of them staged at different points such that a few are at the upholstery shop or engine shop, etc. It is a little crazy here but I am blessed that I have the work when I know that a lot of shops are slow. Rick
