welding and metal work instruction - So. Cal

Just wanted to let people know that the panel beater that did the metal work on my Healey is considering offering individual/small group instruction on gas welding, MIG/TIG welding, and all sorts of metal forming techniques (english wheel, planish hammer, shrinking, flanging, etc.) He has 42 years of experience (let that sink in for awhile) and is willing to share this experience in a small hands-on setting. Anyway, Antonio's shop is in Laguna Hills, California and he can be reached at 949 472-8710. To see an example of his work you can check out my in-progress restoration photos at:

Cheers,
John

Wow ! John, thanks for the info.

I spend 4-6 weeks each year in Laguna Hills. I'll go see him and see if I can catch one of his "seminars".
If not, maybe he'll let me spend a couple of days looking over his shoulder.

Tim
