    Yep, you read right. The metal man himself will be in Canton, OH (44709) performing his metal magic the weekend of March 3 and 4th.
    I've been working the past couple months on getting him pinned down to a date and a cost. So far I have been successful with the first and finalizing the second. I just can't keep it a secret anymore!

    If you've ever wanted to see him in action but just couldn't swing the trip to Cali, this is your chance! Come see him in beautiful, land-locked Canton, Ohio!

    Please PM me with the following information if you are interested:
    Name
    Address (whatever works to US mail something to you)
    Phone number (the one that works the best)
    Email address

    As soon as we get the money part finalized (hopefully either tonight or tomorrow night) I will post the cost.

    This is your big chance, bringing Winfield to the East coast!

    FYI-- this is the week before the Detroit Autorama, it is the 9th-11th.

    Thanks!
    ChevyGirlRox :D
     
  2. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Hey Megan I'm interested so let us know about the money part

    I should also add cl*** size will be rougly 25-45, so it is limited. If you are even remotely interested, act fast. I'm already getting lots of PMs!
    As for only coming for one day or another, I don't see that to be a problem either. Just let me know in your PM.
    Thanks!

    Yes, I have. Come to think about it, maybe that had something to do with my good fortune of getting him to come to Ohio?!? ;)

    I'd take him over Barris anyday though!:D

    :D and he's paying YOU for allowing HIM the pleasure of traveling to Ohio to see YOU right.:D

    and I agree, Gene's pretty suave. I bet he was a ladykiller back in the day.

    Just be careful and don't turn your back on him. I'd suggest hiring a bodyguard for the weekend but you certainly don't want to burst his fantasy bubble I guess.

    Have fun, I'll be slaving away trying to finish up my tiki lounge that weekend.

    Since it has come up in the pm's I'll add to the post:

    This is open to anyone interested, HAMB or not.

    Just think of all the innocent people a large group of HAMBers could corrupt over the course of a weekend!
     
  22. ChevyGirlRox,

    Congrats on making your dream a reality....

    Gene is good people and one of the great kustom guys left that is willing to share his knowledge.

    Keep it real and post pics.

    Ok, here's the skinny...

    The cost is going to be $150 a day, $300 for the weekend. Slightly cheaper than his price at his shop in CA.
    I am working with some local hotels trying to get the best rates with at least breakfast included. Hopefully I'll have something put together by the end of the week.
    For those of you that have asked, the workshop is in Canton, OH (44709).
    Below is the list of interested parties who have PM'd me.
    If you thought you did and your name is NOT on here, PM me again.
    If your name is on here and you are no longer interested, PM me and let me know.
    Here's the list:

    Thanks guys!

    chevygirl...what sort of "show" can be expected from Winfield? Is this a hands on kind of thing or is it a watch him thing? And the most important question "can we drink beer"?

    For those of you wondering what he will be covering (taken from an old flyer):
    Gas welding
    Leading
    Fabrication of complex curves and shapes using an english wheel
    Shrinking and stretching
    Hammer and dolly theory and technique
    Welding
    Hole filling
    Metal finishing

    There are quite a few HAMBers who have attended his workshops in the past, maybe they will chime in (please do if you are one).

    Here are some links to previous posts about his workshops:
