Default Greetings from Belgium

Hi everyone !
I'm Fabian, i'm living in Belgium and work in historic race cars sinds approx 20 years now. I restore and build space frame chassis and monocoque chassis and all the metal fabrications on this cars (single seaters, prototype and groupe C ):
All of this cars have fiberglass bodywork and we build and restore this grp bodyworks too.
I have always been fascinated by the job of the metalshappers especially with aluminium bodyworks.
I will use some of my free time to learn this "art" and try to use it in my daily job and hope this forum can help me in this way ¨by sharing the knowhow of all of you.

Thanks in advance and some apologize for my poor english ....

Best regards,

Fabian

Hello all,

The workshop is in the south of Belgium and we restore historic race cars, most jobs are chassis restoration and construction (metal, aluminium,...) plus bodywork restoration and construction in fiberglass.

Hi,
Sorry, no web site as we prefer to remain unknown about it for the respect of our customers and their projects. I want to share my experience on the subject but not the identity of the cars in the workshop.

Fabian
