I'm new to the forum and to composites, so I thought I say "Greetings from Aus." Smile

The name's Howard, but I've used the forum name Duk (from the movie Howard the Duck) since day dot of my foruming life.

I'm a Fitter and Machinist by trade and a hands on petrol head. And with some modification projects that will be best served by learning how to put composites to work, I figured I'd best be getting my backside joined up to a great composite forum. 'cause I'm going to need some help.............. Crazy

So anyways, great to be on here, I've got plenty to read and think about. Cool

Welcome Howard, good to see another Aussie on the forum! Which side of the island are you on?


Thanks Hanaldo, glad that there are a some Aussies on here already. I'm in South Australia, but outside of Adelaide.

Between this site and compositescentral.com, there's plenty of info to be had. Looking forward to seeing what you're working on Smile


Cheers for the compositecentral reference, I'd not heard of it, but I am as green as green can be when it comes to composites.

At this stage I'm getting ideas (I've watched all of the EC videos a few times each) on how to do certain things. And I'll be getting tools and equipment together so I can start the 'doing'.
The things I plan to make initially are a new fiberglass front bumper bar for my (nearly) supercharged Alfa Romeo 75 V6, a (probably carbon fiber) proper radiator fan shroud/duct and a new air intake for the supercharger, again in CF.

Lots to do.
