Default Hello I am new here from The Netherlands.

Hello. My name is Jack Arts.
I live in The Netherlands

After school, I started as a fabricator/welder in a race shop. We prepared race cars and bodyshells for race, rally, rallycross and Dakar. We fabricated all the parts that we could weld.After 20 years the time has come for a new job. Now I am working in a body shop for aluminum body restauration. I have still a lot to learn. From gaswelding aluminum to work with the Eckold.
Last 10 years I spent a lot of my time on my Datsun 260z. After some simple floorpanels changed my plans. I made wide fender flares with an english wheel and I did a top chop. I had to learn a lot. And now in the bodyshop, can I do this for the living.
I like to use this forum to meet and learn from other enthousiasts.

Jack Arts

Hi Jack,

Gaswelding ali is a bit different but there are different ways to do it. A lot of info on these fora.
