    Hi David, I do take paypal on the website. Having seen a good number of the cars you people make I don't think I would be able to teach you guys much!. (Copper Cobra, Aluminium Willys etc.) metal finished cars polished to a high gloss. Fantastic work. I use gas welding for aluminium work and I know know your guys in Poland only use gas for ally too. Its the best method by far.

    My DVD shows how to make anything from sheet metal using only hand tools. I know the aluminium Willys coupe you guys made was made in fairly small sections in much the same way as the Italian coachbuilders worked this shows what is possible. This is what I tried to show - that you don't need a lot of machines to shape metal.

    Thanks again for your kind comments.

    David

    Thanks so much. Anyone can do it. Just pick up some metal and start trying. It is a ton of fun to create (or fix) something.

    It just arrived! I haven't had a chance to see it yet. I am sure it is fabulous. I don't pretend to know everything--there is always something new to learn in life. That's why I love to go to work.

    Can't wait to see it :)

    I loved watching this. I love seeing the before and after process. Makes me believe that I can one day do something like that.

    Just find a dent (shouldn't be that hard to do) and start tapping and moving the metal. That is how many of us started. I was fortunate to have an old Englishman teach me the basics--then I was on my own. You never really master the art, however.
