Hello, I'm new to metal working. I'm interested in learning to make fenders and panels to repair a rusty old truck. Anyone in the DC area willing to show a newbie a few things to get me started?

Thanks

welcome, great thing about here is anyone can help you. post some pics of what your trying to do and someone will walk you through it.

what kind of old truck??

Fred, welcome to the site. If you do a search there are quite a few threads on making fenders.. Also, I see you're not too far from Berryville, on March 10th OJ Higgins is opening up his place to hold some demos/workshops. See the thread here...

Thanks for the welcome.

Robert, that looks like a great learning event for me. I will try to make it. I've enjoyed your posts over on Garage Journal.

Brent, the truck is a Suzuki LJ81. It was made in 1981, so it isn't really that old. Here's a pic from when I first got it.
