This could be a regular event so send John your requests for future workshops!

The man, the legend, our very own 914 metal god...ok so he's a Karman Ghias deviant but we can consider it a close relative to the 914... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Thank you Tony of TC Design for hosting this workshop. Your shop is great.

QUOTE (John Kelly @ Jun 14 2005, 02:50 PM)
Just got home...1800 miles round trip. I had a lot of fun doing the workshop. The interest level, great questions, and feedback I got were amazing. It is very rewarding to have such intense interest in the work. I also learned a few things that will hopefully make the next one better. I must publicly thank Felix for his encouragement, and help in making this happen. I would not have been able to afford the trip without his help. Also Tony at TC Design was very generous supplying the great workspace free of charge, and refreshments to boot! I hope he will get some business from this. And thanks to everyone of the 914club members who came to listen to me blather on. What a great bunch of folks! I participate in half a dozen or so forums, but this one takes the cake. What is it about 914 folks that makes them really interested, and passionate about their cars and what can be done with them? Thanks guys!

John,

You're very welcome! I hope you and Karla had as good a time as we did. My old school thinking has come a long way from "pound it close enough to get within a 1/4" of bondo." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) More people need to see you work the metal and get their hands it. Who kept this "Metal Shaping" secret for so long? Yes the cost is time and patience but we all need more of that. Keep the craft alive...

I will have the first painted and running 914 with your flares. Don't tell Zack yet. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
