The best way to initiate a request for estimate is by contacting jeff@fournierenterprises.com. Here are guidelines that will help you if you wish to submit a project for estimation. Please provide as much information as possible, including:

• What kind of metal would you like this body / component / project to be fabricated of - steel or aluminum?
• Is there a specific gage the project requires?
• What are the overall dimensions of the car? (e.g. length, height and wheel base) Or, provide other dimensions if the project is a component, aircraft panel, etc.
• Do you have a full scale model and/or buck?
• If no full scale model or buck is available, is there a smaller scale model?
• What scale is this model / buck and what is it made of?
• Do you want only one of this item produced? If the answer is more than one, please specify how many.
• What is the realistic timing for your project?
• Please submit any drawings / files in .PDF format. Photos are also helpful.
   

All of these answers will help us provide an estimate for your project. We may have additional questions, but this information will help get the ball rolling.

Sometimes, when a product is a "low inventory item" we remove it from our e-store. We think it is important to ship products that customers pay for as soon as possible! Occasionally, for new products or "waitlist" items, we will note availability dates and let you choose if you wish to pay for items ahead of time. We always indicate approximate ship dates in the product detail area.

If you are looking for an item on our e-store and can't find it, please give us a call! We're always willing to help. Phone 586-323-9160. If you are calling after our normal business hours, please leave a message and we will return your call.

We would be glad to help you out with choosing some equipment to set up a shop. The equipment you choose, though, depends on exactly what you will be doing.

A good box and pan brake of at least 4 ft. and a good powered bead roller are two things you will use no matter what. You will also need something to cut material. We use hand held Kett shears and a band saw to do almost all of our cutting. We also have a Sykes Pickavant rotary shear for fine trimming. Stomp shears are nice to have, especially if you are doing a lot of blanks or production type work, but they are not essential.

Also, welding capabilities are essential. We have a good TIG welder and Oxy/Acetylene set ups in our shop. MIG welders are good for certain things in steel, but if you are going to be doing mostly aluminum then I wouldn’t worry about one.

After that is where you will have to decide based on what you are doing. Slip rolls are great for simple 2D curves and rolling cones, tunnels, and the like. If you are going to be doing more simple things such as floors and trim panels a longer brake is also nice if you are working on larger sized panels. If you plan on doing body panels or anything with compound 3D shapes then a good English wheel and the knowledge of how to use it is essential. A Pullmax style machine is also a great tool, but you can get by without one if you have a good wheel, bead roller, and skills with hand tools.

A good collection of hand tools is essential as well. Body hammers, slappers, dollies, T-dollies, forming heads, snips, hand seamers, layout tools, files, etc.

If you can provide more detail on what work you plan on doing we can help guide you more specifically.
