Metalshaping classes.
Andy,
I live in Halesowen so I'm a stone's throw away from you. I have completed several courses at Leeds City Technology College. These are held in the college holidays and are entitled "short courses". My advice is complete the one week welding course first. This is mainly gas welding but touches on brazing and MIG on the last couple of days. Thereafter complete the panel fabrication course. This teaches roughing out in the stump/sandbag, English wheeling, wire edging, use of the shrinker/stretcher, simple folding/flanging. The tutor Terry Devaney is a very skilled fellow having spent his entire working life building vehicle bodies. I did it the wrong way round. I did the panel fab' course first so had to do a "crash course" in gas welding. As a result several months later I did the welding course. I then did the panel fabrication course again. Each course is £385 (per week) which I think is excellent value for money. I've also done their one day body soldering course. Next month I'm off to Cornwall to take Geoff Moss's wheeling course. I'm very much looking forward to that. If you are tempted by the Leeds courses there is a bed and breakfast that I can recommend within walking distance of the college. My only advice would be to check whether Terry is the tutor. Good luck. Paul McElhinney.

I would also recommend this course
I went on the panel fab course at Leeds City Technology College and would recommend it as well. I would also say that having welding first would make it easier. Leaves you with the time just to concentrate on the panel skills. Loads of cheap B&Bs in Leeds so not too expensive either. Terry was with them at the NEC Classic car show today, so he is still doing some stuff with them.
