Default Hello

Hi,
We are a father and son TEAM. We share a love for cars and racing them. Our projects include A 1987 Ford Thunderbird, 1977 Toyota Celica GT Liftback and a 1977 Toyota Celica GT Coupe. The Coupe is a dedicated track car that we run at tracks such as Watkins Glen and NJMP. Not a lot of sheet metal is available so we must hand fabricate the parts that we need.

Thanks Rick,

I was just over at your bead roller post. Some nice stuff I was looking at. I just picked up an Eastwood unit. It’s not the best of workmanship but for 50 bucks can’t complain.

This is a very interesting site.

Thanks David and Peter,

Don't know if we will get to the skill level of what went into Davids 1912 Sunbeam,or the Monaro Quarter Panel crafted by Peter, but we will have fun along the way.

We are not ones that are satisfied with a bodged job.

Cheers,
Robert

Robert
There are 2 meets somewhat local to us in this area. Gator meet (May 2,3,&4) and Jalopy Showdown (May 17). Both are a good place to learn and pick up some great tips.
