not a "car-guy" but he can make sheet metal sing.
I have used him for not only the tubs but also the
"home made" box on my shop truck .
great work at fair prices.

December 23,2001
very late in the evening but we could not resist
this is held together with sticky tape, it will take
months of hard work to get the car back to this
shape, from here we blow it apart and massage every
panel and bracket.......
the progress will be meticulous and very very slow

JANUARY 25, 2003 THE BIG DAY ARRIVES
TIME TO FIRE IT UP AND SEE IF IT STEERS AND STOPS.
I CALL ON THE SERVICES OF MY MASTER MECHANIC (PAUL) TO BRING
THE OLD 350 TO LIFE, THE BRAKES ARE BLED AND THE RADIATOR IS FILLED

A COUPLE OF MINOR TWEAKS  FROM PAUL THE CHIEF ENGINEER AND
MASTER ENGINE BUILDER.

JUST THE RIGHT STUFF..... IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS

NOW FOR THE GLASS, CLOTH, WHEELS AND TIRES.
THE ACTUAL WORK FOR THE TROLL IS ALMOST COMPLETE EXCEPT FOR
PRESENTING THE BILL AND BIDDING ADIEU TO ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER

Clancy decided to fit a one piece hood from trolls "signature series".....
notice the distinctive crease down the center of the hood.  When painted it will
be reminiscent of the center hinge but still maintain the practical aspect of a
one piece hood.  In this picture it is still to be fitted and mounted but due to the
troll's skill this can be accomplished complete for under $300 thanks to the help of
bruce the sheet metal guy.....   bkdavidson@shaw.ca
