Another New guy from Minnesota
 

Hi I'm Sean,

I built and restored a 1947 knucklehead the last 5 years. And now I've found an original rear fender that needs some restoration. Some metal bumping and maybe needs some repair panels made with a wire tube channel and a hemmed edge. I need to setup my workshop for this project and looking forward to the expertise here and guidance in selecting the right machines and tools to do a professional job.

If you guys are interested I can post a build thread and pictures.

Thanks,
Sean

Is this going to be one time job? If so, it might be best to farm it out or you can get a cheap hammer and dolly set. You can make fender from scratch with stump and hand tools. As far as equipment if not doing for job or for a living, equipment can add up fast and with out the knowledge to use it, its waste of money(Ask me how I know this:)). Also taking class taught by a master or going to a metal meet can help show what can be done with hand tools hope this helps. Bryan
