All MetalShaping - New member from southeast Mo

My name is James and I live in southeast Missouri about 80 miles south of St. Louis. I've always been into old cars and tractors. When it comes it old vehicles I usually gravitate towards mopars or oddball makes. Earlier this year I bought a 1933 1.5 ton Dodge truck that I am wanting to learn the skills to do the metal work myself on. The plan is to make it comparable to a f450-f550 Ford truck. I already have a 6.7 cummins engine and 1000 series Allison to put in it. I think widening the body a little will probabaly be needed and I have a set of 1933 Dodge 4 door sedan doors that I am hoping to use to convert it into a crewcab. I have a lot more I could write out but I am sending this from my cell phone and it's a little hard to type on.
