New Guy from North Carolina.
 

Came across this group while searching for metal shaping ideas. Right now I am restoring a 53 Bel Air for the family. Chassis and drivetrain are completed and now to the body work. Hope to find ideas on shaping metal that I can use to make this job easier.

Thanks for adding me!

Welcome Mike. I'm in Winston-Salem. We have an ever-growing group of NC metal workers on this forum now!

Hi Mike and welcome !:)

Welcome to the forum from another newby on the board from Franklinville NC.

Welcome from a fellow North Carolinian. Looks like we have quite a few from NC. Looks like a group meet may be brewing.
Great advice and techniques on this forum.

Good luck with your project.

welcome from charlotte . You can come by my shop sometime for alittle chat time, and can see what we do. thanks RED 704-509-6397

Some one among us might consider a simple 'meet and greet' at a central location. I would sure like to attend something as I am getting cabin fever, and I am always looking to see how other folks do things. Folks are always welcome at my small shop for a visit, just south of Charlotte, NC. I have little talent, but LOTS of enthusiasm (for an old man) and some pieces of equipment.

Oh Bull Feathers Will. There are a bunch of folks here who ASPIRE of having your 'little' talent.:lol:

If yall put together a gathering, I'll try to attend and bring some tools schedule permitting. There should be critical mass in the Carolinas. We have a bunch of members there.

Thanks Kerry.

I am willing to host, but my shop is small, maybe for 10-15 guys, max. and it is at the southern end of this 'grouping', but I am MORE than willing to help someone if they feel that they have a larger shop and would be willing to host.

How about a list of folks that might be interested in a Carolina Crowd meeting, maybe just a one day (Saturday) affair to meet and introduce each other. Donuts and coffee in the morning and a group lunch nearby. Any event that would draw the likes of Kerry Pinkerton and his knowledge would be very worth the effort. A two day event might draw more folks.

First name on the 'interested' list:
