Good Afternoon,

My name is Jeff Klenk and I reside in Orlando, FL., which does not seem to be a popular area for metal shapers. Over the last few years I dabbled with motorcycles and classic cars, but I have realized that I want to learn more about metal shaping and fabrication. I am in the process of gathering material to build an E-machine and I hope to have it completed in the next few months. Learning as much as I can about the e-machine currently my priority and once I feel comfortable, I will explore other techniques to shape metal. I am interested in some formal training, however it does not look like there is anything in Florida, except the air show that takes place in Lakeland, that I just missed.

Hello Jeff, Welcome to the forum. I visited Orlando a few years ago, went to a car show in Old Town, I showed a couple of guys there some photos of some car bodies I had made- including this one...

To begin with I don't think they believed me, thought I was just a crazy brit, then they were quite intrigued.

Hi Jeff,

I'm just north of you in Mt. Dora. I'm not in business, just a hobbyist, but might be able to help you out sometime. There are a few metal shapers around the area. Unfortunately, we all seem to go our own way and don't get together often. Maybe we can change that someday.

Mr. Gardiner,

Nice work on the car body. I was actually looking at your website last night and I am about ready to pull the trigger on purchasing you DVD. I had an assignment in Loudwater/High Wycombe in 2010 for a few months. It was nice to see a different culture.

Cheers Jeff, for such a little country we have a big variety of cultures.lol. if you are over again come and visit.
