Default Another Australian Car nut

Hey guys/girls,

Joined metal shaping to get a few more pointers from the artists on here.

I recently bought David Gardiner's DVD on metal shaping and it gave me the confidence to cut up my old datsun and have a go. I was actually surprised how easy it was. Please don't take that the wrong way, I am by no means great at it, however it was far from the stratosphere of work that I used to think body work was.

Below is a couple of posts of my work thus far, I still have a long way to go, but these were my first attempts.

Still using a mig at this stage, but one day I might get around to buying an oxy set.

Hi Bradley and welcome!
Looks like you're getting a good start. The panels look nice!
