ABOUT US
PERFORMANCE METAL SHAPING

The lead fabricator of our company is  Norm Campeau Jr. ......  Norm grew up around the sheet metal trade ....... His father Norm Sr. started  SKYLINE ROOFING AND SHEET METAL in Manchester N.H.. .....This grew to be one of the largest roofing companies in the state with over 100 employees....... Their sheet metal facilities were extensive, doing mostly specialty sheet metal work, along with custom metal and  copper roofs....... This was where Norm learned how to work with metal............... Norm's passion over his life has always been with the automobile especially street rods,customs and muscle cars.........  He was a safety inspector with the NATIONAL STREET ROD ASSN. for many years and was the N.H. chief inspector......Over the years he has built several cars for himself and others......  For the 6 years he had been involved with NASCAR racing working mainly in the BUSCH NORTH series, and occasionally the BUSCH & CRAFTMAN TRUCK series ,along with ARCA  as a fabricator and gas man ......  This has given Norm much practice and experience with crash repair, body fab and metal shaping equipment design...... This led to the design of a planishing machine, and high crown beader, designed by Norm and built by MITTLER BROTHERS......These machines are being widely used by fabricators  in the racing,aircraft, and metal shaping industries............We actually got into the metal shaping business by accident....... While working on a 1937 Packard street rod body parts needed to be made that were not available so we set out to learn.......  Learning metal shaping methods from the masters like Ron fournier,Ron Covell ,and Fay Buttler along with others, we were able to apply this knowledge learned along with sheet metal experience previously learned........ One thing led to another and PERFORMANCE METAL SHAPING was born....................Our goal is to provide quality instruction , and the tools necessary at a reasonable price.......With all the build a bike and car shows on television today there is a great interest in metal shaping and that gets us very excited that more people are getting into the car hobby and metal shaping....... The problem is that with this new interest comes the people who are out to just rob a buck....... There are some very good suppliers of tools and classes out there, but there are now many out there trying to take your money......... We take pride in our products and classes...... Everything we sell we use in our shop. .....We also try to find the best values, not the biggest  priced items or the shiniest........ Our products work......... If we don't carry an item please call us , we may help to point you in the right direction as to satisfy your needs.
