Default Another new guy from the Puget Sound

Hi Everyone,
My name is Paul. I bought a '39 chevy a few months ago for a dad/daughter project, it's been chopped but not very good. I was hoping to get some tips for repairing body panels and maybe even attempt to tackle a new roof.
There seems to be a ton of skilled craftsmen on this site.
I own a small hydraulic repair shop in the Seattle area and working with steel pipe, sheet and angle 1/4" and thicker is no problem. Making a good looking body panel out of sheet metal sure is.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Paul and welcome !
Is your daughter excited about her new/old car?
Some of my best memories are from the time building my son's T bucket!

Yeah my daughters loving it. She helps when she can. She's in her teenage years so you know how that is, she just wants to drive when it's done.
