new here from NC
 

Hey all, i just found this site and love it. I have an interest in learning more about metal shaping. I have done body work on muscle cars for some time now but i must admit I have been a "get it close and put the mud on it" guy. I would love to learn how to really get it right so any learning aids you can suggest would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, insert real name here. You can add your name in the signature section that you will find in the User CP at the top of the page. Welcome to the site always glad to have a new member interested in learning. If you have a question, just ask and someone will try to answer.

Welcome aboard.

I don't mind body filler, it's when people think it's metal and can fill rat holes or when it is over 3/8'' deep.

You should look up shrinking disk's, it really helps me a lot.

You may want to start with this DVD. It will probably leave you with some questions. The author (David Gardiner) hangs out here and can answer any you may have about the DVD's content. There's a huge amount of experience here, you'll learn a bunch in a short period of time. Ask away!
