| I wish you all the best. This type of trade requires much practice and experience to be good. I like to see people with high expectations for themselves. Find a good shop, work hard and tie a big knot and hang on. If at any point of your learning process you want to pull the plug on it, thats when you will learn the most about the art and yourself. Remember, the grass is not always greener on the other side.Do your time and pay your dues and you Will get there. Didn't mean to get to deep but its been a growing day for me. Seek and you shall find. I hope you continue to visit with us here as we learn together. |

FMX- try http://www.machinemuseum.net/
This is a local museum in Alberta that is just incredible. It is called Reynolds Alberta Museum. This place is devoted to old machinery and probably has one of the most diverse collections in North America. Anyway, one of the guys in the restoration shop has made videos for restoration on old cars and is supposed to be one of the best. You should be able to pick up the videos through mail order off the website. If you love old cars you would cream your shorts if you ever had a chance to visit. I thought I knew a bit about the old cars but I was quite humbled by what is there and I'd never even heard of. My sister works there and I managed to get a tour of the warehouse that is just jammed full of stuff that is just waiting for restoration. Aparently they have the oldest surviving Chevrolet car- older than what chevy has in their collection. I could go on for hours about this place. check it out for yourself. |

I'm in need of a fabricator to produce a set of fenders and splash aprons for a 1910 Vintage car. I have good solid patterns. Love to find someone in the Pacific Northwest.
Early car restorers are really in need of some new sheetmetal fabricators. Very few folks willing to get involved in early projects.
