Sign me up for a disk!!!

 

Great stuff Ax, I'd buy a disc. Just starting my '56 project and am starting with the fenders, this thread is perfect start.

 

I just found this thread for the first time while enjoying my coffee, there is tons of good information here. Thanks for taking time to log it and share it.

 

Ax ,As a newbie to the site and rebuilding old iron .I want you to know how much I appreciate all your instruction and time. I would like one of the disc when you get to it.

 

holding a workshop first weekend in May. Hope we can shoot some video for the cd then.

 

Cool beans!

 

Nice tutorial: I am at this stage presently, using the same methods.

 

Ax, This thread gives me the encouragement to tackle the metalwork on my own to the point it is primed and ready for paint. These are old skills that not many are willing to share readially anymore.
I would definitely be down for a disc when they are done.

 

I'm in for a disk and even one of your pick-hammers. My late step-dad was a retired auto body instructor for a vocational school and I attended his class during my high school years, I also worked at my uncle's auto restoration shop for several years after my enlistment in the Marine Corps. I learned a lot for my step-dad and my uncle, but I have to say that after being away from doing any kind of body work for over 15 years your thread has really showed me just how much I've forgotten!!
Thank a ton!!! (my F1 thanks you too, LOL!)

 

As in next weekend, the 2-3rd of May? I would be interested in attending a workshop, but am tied up next weekend.

Would be interested in the CD in the meantime and also a future workshop.

Thanks for sharing the techniques in this thread. I've always stayed away from true body work as it is such an art form, and just stuck with using extra Bondo. Based on your posts, I'm encouraged to try and learn how to do this.

 

Gary, yes 5/2-3.
I'm doing this as an intense 2 day hands on workshop with 2 students. I am willing to do one for just 1 student if you are interested. For this one we will do patch forming and welding on day 1, dent removal and metal finishing on day 2, but a workshop can be set up to cover a specific need or interest.
There is some art involved especially when creating complex forms, but I hope to show basic metal shaping and finishing is not difficult even with basic tools, if you have sufficient patience and care, and understand what the metal does when worked. There is no reason to use more than 1/8" of bondo, I prefer to keep it to a 1/16" skim coat.

 

The best time for me will likely be in Sept/Oct timeframe. I'll be heading up your way for an Irish music weekend in Spruce Pine, NC the last weekend in Sept, so perhaps something back to back with that will work.

Thanks for the offer.

 

Pretty amazing the information you are willing to share with the members. I wish I were closer, I would definitely enjoy attending your workshops.

 

Hi AX, i just read the whole post and was amazed with your talent, WOW.
i would love to buy one of your discs when there available for future use,
thank you for putting this out there for everyone to see and learn from,

 

I just saw this thread for the first time and it has helped me immensely! Thank you Ax!

I now know what to do to fix my front fenders. Actually doing it will be another story but I now have a plan.
