You are more than welcome at any time........ but I think that in England there will be a few good tradesmen left that can teach you

You're not in the UK? From the cars on show, the equipment, and your traditional Scottish family name, I thought you were! |

Great job Peter.
Can you tell me what the moulding is that you used around the doors and where you got it from.
Thanks, David Aust. |

Awesome skills Peter. _________________ Due to the onset of my mid eighties I'm no longer sprightly and rarely seen in my Austin special. I have written a book though. https://amzn.eu/d/7rwRRqL |

Very nice indeed Peter- the body on my Alvis was rebuilt by Max Houston in Australia - there are some great craftsmen down there. _________________ Jonathan Butler

Wow, really fantastic job, did you form the fenders on the englisch wheel, or made with an other procedure ?
I'm building a car mysleve and most work went in to the fenders.
But i made them in steel, not aluminium.
regards. |

Hi Gilletman
I used the English Wheel to make the guards shrink them by hand to get the required shape and finish them off by hand
