This post is in response to the threads the difficulty in finding people to do what is required. This page is full of really inspiring stuff and high end work that just leaves me dumbstruck at its beauty. This is with the knowledge I know how much effort goes into making it so. That does not even begin to count the years that it has taken to learn how to do it. This kind of job with a customer willing to pay is hard to find..... Day to day stuff soon takes the glamour out of the job for the glory hunters but in truth, this is what it is about. Im not a craftsman. I just enjoy solving problems because it keeps my brain active. My work is mostly repair and some restoration and as always there is a budget. You have to make your desire to do the best fit the budget. attached images are of stuff I have been doing over the past few weeks. Images include a Flaminia Gt that had previously had a bare metal respray but none of the damage had been repaired. Just filled in with bondo (polyester filler if you are in the uk).Flaminia door having the bottom replaced due fold back on the door skin cracked, Aluminium skin and steel chassis. Repair panels or a Fulvia 1600 HF MKII and inner wings. These inner wings are hard work. Hand made with limited tooling but fortunately an original to use as a buck! Ok the finish is not perfect but they will be coated in underseal and they are done to a budget. The day to day stuff but great fun. ;-)
