Car Restoration - The Metal Surgeon,US (PDF)
I have 21 years experience in shaping aircraft and automotive materials from the flat to all desired shapes. My expertise using the English Wheel has lead to jobs for many design houses in England, Europe, and now the USA. I am now located in Denver, Colorado as a custom metal worker with my own fully equipped work shop. I served a 4 year engineering apprenticeship with Jaguar in Coventry, England. My first project involved the XJ220: an all aluminum bodied super car, which held the crown of ‘Worlds Fastest Production Car‘ for 3 years, until being taken over by the stylish Mclaren F1. The XJ220’s panels were initially all hand formed, until a low volume run where they were part pressed and then finished by hand.
