Hello from Kentucky
 

I was an auto mechanic for 15 years and have now been a mechanical designer for 14 years. I design gas turbine component test rigs for GE Aircraft engines and GE Energy. I have always been into mechanical things, and after completing restoration of a tractor that my grandfather built from a 1929 model a dump truck, I decided to start several projects. My first is a 2/3 scale antique truck. I am using a Waukesha ICK engine from a railroad speeder and transaxle from a 1962 Cub Cadet. I have a running chassis and I'm ready to start the body. I have the basic hand tools and Miller 211 welder, but now I need to move up to more advanced tools and techniques.

Mark, welcome and thanks for the introduction. Sound like you have an interesting project going. Hope you will post some pictures as you progress. The information on the site can help you with learning how to shape sheet metal. If you have questions just ask and someone will help. Thanks for joining us.
