Kent Caveny is a mechanical engineer who is currently working on what he calls "very high pressure water hoses." His expertise has taken him all over the world to work with polymer chemist and other specialists to develop flexible pipe that can withstand pressures up to 15,000 psi used to transport oil on and off floating oilrigs. He is now planning on going to Europe to work on airplane restoration. Along with being a researcher and engineer, Kent is also a certified car nut. He is currently reassembling and restoring the sheet metal on a '59 Porsche 356 Cabriolet. He is also looking forward to restoring the body and building the chassis for a '27 T Roadster. With some thirty years of sheet metal and welding experience behind him, he has written three books to pass on his expertise.
