Hello Everyone
Hello everyone, my name is Rob. I work in auto restoration, I own a couple 50's cadillacs I'm restoring at home in my spare time, but have wanted to hone my metal shaping skills and build a scratch made car in the late 30's style. I look forward to learning and sharing any knowledge I have.

Thank you Peter - you've been a big influence on me when I came across the "peach and tomassini" YouTube clips online. What a relief it was when you guys said you can do this stuff with hand tools mostly, you don't need pullmaxes and such. I've got a harbor freight English wheel and their Lancaster style shrinker stretcher. Seems like some quality mallets and a stump is in order.

Welcome to the forum, Rob. Always great to see other nearby Carolina folks join the forum. It's a fantastic resource.
I was also similarly influenced by Peter's work and method, long before I found this forum or had the chance to take a class from him at Will's a couple of years ago. No disappointments. watch for posts from Peter & RockHillWill about any possible area classes. No idea if there are more planned, but...
