Default Introduction.

Hello folks, I've just read some other introductions, some very experienced metal shapers. I am the opposite end of the scale.

I have spent the last 29 years shaping the future of criminals, putting them where they belong. I retire in Oct next year and want to spend my time restoring Jensens. I own three, all restoration projects. I've done some courses at Leeds City Technology College in the UK, panel fabrcation and gas welding. I have also been studying David Gardiner's DVD.

I look forward to picking your brains.

Regards,

Paul McElhinney.

Default Cv8

Tony,

I have two CV8 bonnets in my shed. They are in excellent condition. I had no use for them but the ebay vendor wrote that if he didn't sell them he was going to smash them up and take them down the local waste tip. One day someone will need them.

Regards,

Paul.

David,

Your DVD is a fantastic resource. I have found that as I learn more I rewatch it and understand more of what you're saying.

Peter,

I want your DVDs next. I've watched your youtube videos in awe.
