On March 23rd 2019 we had the privilege of hosting a group from the Rolls-Royce Owners Club of America. Members gathered from across the country to learn the fundamentals of shaping metal using traditional techniques and equipment of the coachbuilding trade. Much noise and fun was experienced by all.
Steel
We pride ourselves in producing panels finished to a high degree requiring no plastic fillers. This sets us apart from many other shops. In keeping with traditional skills, steel body structures are often lead finished to produce exacting fits of panels. This detail ensures correct flow and gaps.
