Canadian, eh?
 

So, I'm 62 yrs old, and working on a 51 Merc M1. was my dad's, and i learned to drive in it. I find now I really like working with the sheet metal. i have done some of the flat stuff on the box, haven't tried any curved stuff yet. The cab was done professionally, and looks great. Look forward to learning a lot.

Welcome to the site young man, you've come to the right place to learn, so many skilled guys here only to pleased to share what they do.

Lets have some pics when you can.

Would be interesting to know what the average age is of members on here?

Gerry, enjoy.

Welcome Gerry!
just remember no such thing as a dumb question! If you don't know something, just ask. Someone one will answer

Gerry, Where in Canada are you? There are a bunch of us here but were are quite spread out.

Doug, I'm in Cowichan Bay, Vancouver Island, B.C.
As a retired dairy farmer, I have no cows, but lots of space for metal parts (my wife has another name for this, but i won't go there). All the barns have very useful parts for future projects. For repair of the box sides of my F1, I scavenged metal from an old forage blower and a forage harvester.
Never, Never, Throw Something Away!

Gerry, I spent a year in Duncan about 25 years ago. I'm just in the process of down sizing my poultry operation and was hoping to have about 10,000 sq ft. surplus barn space, but now it looks like that won't happen.
My wife is on the warpath about getting rid of a lot of what she thinks is junk.
I have finally come to the realization that I really don't need three of every cool tool I come across but I still find it hard to part with any of my fabrication tools, I mean farm maintenance equipment. Grin!!!!

I understand, Doug.
You needed that English wheel and planishing hammer to straighten out those dents in that grain auger!

Finally someone who understands. LOL
