Tom Harral Metalsmiths are a team of metal workers specialising in a range of services from good old fashioned blacksmithing, to more modern CNC plasma cutting. Classic Car body restoration is a new venture for THM. The whole team have a keen interest in old Volkswagens and their Karmann Ghia is the first to receive the full benefit of their professional enthusiasm for metal conservation. Having completed the metalwork stage of the restoration it seemed a shame to cover-up all their hard work, so they coated the body with Gibbs Brand. Initially intended as an experiment, Gibbs Brand worked well enough for them to consider leaving the body bare as a rolling advertisement for their skills.
