A Spinning Matter
I hijacked John Albas intro thread title mainly because his work (stamping) is what interests me the most. Anyways, I came here to read through the metal spinning section as I am looking to reproduce some headlight buckets for hard to find vintage trucks.
9-5 engineer working next gen jet propulsion 5-9 single man shop dedicated to 1930s-50s vintage trucks, specifically engine and driveline conversions, restorations, and general design work. I found a place in Nova Scotia called "Metal Spinning Workshop" and would be interested to hear if anyone knows about them or what their classes are like. My day job puts me in high end hydroforming and drop forging shops that do much fine tuning with metal spinning, really fascinating considering the level of tech we use elsewhere.

Michael, Welcome to the forum,great group of guys that are willing to share their knowledge. Do you have any images of your work, as an owner of a '37 Ford 1/2 ton I'm m always interested in seeing what others are doing.

Hi Michael,
Welcome to the forum. Your work sounds fascinating. Used to be a snow plow rig up the hill a ways - '37 Ford panel truck sheetmetal mounted onto a Dodge M37 chassis. Was a high-demand unit for years because of "cool and effective" status. Otherwise, I am a fan of Marmon-Harrington conversions for the '36-'48 Ford back country hunting rigs - trucks or 4door sedans.
