Default Scott Dennison

I am 63 years old and live in Waukesha, WI. I have been a fabricator all my life, either as a hobby or as a profession. I started in Indy Cars with Parnelli Jones Racing in 1973 working for Al Unser, SR. I drove midgets, sprint cars, and road raced. I headed design teams for Excalibur Automobiles in Milwaukee creating four cars. Recently, I have started my own business and am restoring pieces for a Goodyear FG-1D Corsair WWII fighter.

I am always looking for knowledge and advice as well as good equipment. I also am a TIG welder.

Thanks for letting me join this organization.

Welcome Scott. The Corsair is quite a project, especially that wing folding mechanism! Post pictures please! Lots of a/c fans here.

Hey Bill, thanks. I have been posting the progress on the Warbird Information Exchange

http://warbirdinformationexchange.or...hp?f=3&t=52024

as well as my Face Book page

https://www.facebook.com/DennisonEnt...esLLC?fref=ts#

Probably easier to get a feel from those pages. The Corsair belongs to the Warbird Heritage Foundation and I am doing some restoration of the air inlet sections currently. The project is being done by Sam Taber and his crew at Tab Air in East Troy, WI.

If you spend some time on my FB page, you can find a bar I did for a friend using a 747 engine cowl as well as fighter ejection seats for bar stools. I have built medieval armor for my boys when they were jousting knights.

I'll have to figure out how to post pictures on this forum. Probably a tutorial somewhere. Most important is to learn from all you guys. I know a lot about a little but you guys never cease to amaze me with what you are capable of. I will never stop learning.

Thanks again!

Okay Scott. Thanks for blowing my whole night! I've just gone through your pages and have to say your woodwork is as impressive as your metal work. Great photography, too!
