Roo Man's Room / Re: Recommendations on books for Oxy Acetylene welding aluminum

Glenn,

Union Carbide has a book from the 60's / 70's, as mentioned in another response Ron has one, and a couple other "how to" metalworking books found online are available. Most books give a basic explanation of process and set-up, but it's nice to have "live" directions available. If your son has questions I'd be happy to help. The process is easy once you get over worrying about destroying your panel. Of course practice, practice, and more practice helps...

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.

Front Engine Dragsters / 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
