Hey all,
I am from Reno, NV and I am interested in metal shaping. I have been fabricating with metal for about 6-7 years now. I am self taught through reading forums and trial and error. I am looking forward to reading the info on this site.

Here's to many weeks of reading and learning new stuff!!

Cody, welcome to allmetalshaping. Hope you find the site helpful.

Welcome to the site Cody. I am sure you will find things of interest here.

Thanks guys. I will try to post up pics of some things I have done.

I am currently working on building a 1986 Chevy Silverado 2 wheel drive. I am building it in my garage with very basic tools (grinders, cut-off wheels, sawzall, cordless drills, and a welder). I am currently trying to get my hands on a sheet metal brake and a bead roller to start on the floor and firewall.

I Z'd the frame 3"

I dont think I have any pictures of the finished Z. Sorry. :(

Cody, looks like you did a nice job on the Z. Hope to see more of your work.

Welcome aboard Cody!

Thanks guys! I am learning a lot about metal shaping! This is a great site. Looks like I will be purchasing a HF bead roller soon so that I can start modifying it to actually work!
