Well i left in July 2011 ,set up in my home workshop,only 650sqft.Then May 2012 moved into 2000sqft commercial building and just recently July 1st 2013 moved to a 4000sqft stand alone building 2 doors down from Classic Restoration.
I would be lying if i said i wasn't excited in raising a couple of eye brows over there! |

if you decide to use those rockers as molds, and make fg ones I would be in for a set.
I am sure MANY others would be too. you have mad skills. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) |

Flared rockers are available, and the fit is comparable to other fiberglass parts. Seeing your metal-work is really seeing an artist do his work!
Ever since I read Ron Fournier's book on metalworking, I've always been in awe of the craftsmen that work in metal. It truly is an art form, and I appreciate you sharing the project with us. Now, when a good shop gives you an estimate that shocks you, this shows what your money buys. |
