Newbie Intro...
« on: March 31, 2015, 03:34:25 PM »
Hi All!

I'm a newbie here (Thanks Glenn), but not new to drag racing. I am a Fabricator by trade and part of my interest in joining the forum is to see if anyone is looking / needing a chute pack body made for their car. I've talked to Glenn and Roo Man about this and they both signed off on me posting here as I'm not trying to drum up work, it's just something I'd like to do.
I've always admired the lines and shape of the old school bodies, I'd like to make one and I'm willing to make someone a deal for the privilege. I have 30+ years experience and specialize in aluminum body repair and re-creation for vintage / historic cars and Warbirds. Please check out my website for a sample of projects I've done; www.chriskopp.biz  My workshop is located in the Bay area of Richmond, CA., I can be reached at 303@910@8560.

Thanks,
Chris

Paul & Tim, I've been very fortunate to have worked for and/or with some of the fabricating greats over the years. After 30 some years I'm still having a blast at what I do.
Thanks for the comments.

Chris, I've been a machinist for 25 years or so, taken up welding and fabricating within the last few, all I can say is that when I grow up, if ever I do, I wanna be JUST LIKE YOU!!!
