Jim! You find that dream job yet buddy??

I sure hope so!!

:thumbsup:

Hi Greg ! Hope you're doing well !

Been at my new job now for about 5 months. I manage a composites engineering company here in indianapolis called Applied Composites Engineering. Very cool place and I'm working my tail off trying to get settled in. Learning a ton of stuff about composite manufacturing and repair, design, cnc, cmm, etc - and I can't wait to put some of this awesome technology into the the 356G !!

Here's some links to my new home away from home where I spend all my time.

Good to hear!!

That line of work looks awesome! We have lots of composite places in Seattle area because of Boeing I think. Good to stay ahead of the curve! So many people I know stay in jobs that are "dying industries" -- and then can't figure out why they have no work. Best to push that envelope a bit huh!

Anyway - hadn't seen a post for awhile so just thought I'd rattle your cage. :D

I don't get to drop in here much, but don't give up on me !

I'll be back.

Jim

Update?

He looks at it a lot! Sometimes he even rubs on it. :D

I saw it last week. It's still in his garage. In 2 pieces, not quite welded back together again. Not much has changed. :D :D :D

Did a little work on the Porsche
 

Needed to widen the rear of the fenders to square them up to get the rear of the opening the same distance from the tire/wheel as the front of the opening is. Cut out the rear tail lights. Found the flattest spot on the fender to widen the fender at the back 2.5 inches. Taped it out and cut the fender all the way to the door jam. Measured and set both sides to the same width – then inserted metal strips and held them in place with clecos.

I don't understand why you cut the light out - why not leave it where it was and simply cut around it on the fender side you wished to move out leaving the original location - and then making a fill panel between it and the moved section. Did it look 'funny'??

Nice work by the way - and my question is not being critical - I'm simply trying to understand and learn the "thought process"... without a rendering etc to see the changes you're making.

Cool! glad to see your still playing with the car. Keep up the nice work!
