Default And I thought the DMV was a challenge

Hi new guy here. When it comes to old school metal forming, now that I can work with. I hope I can contribute and pick up a few tricks.

I don't recall seeing how many "posts required" before posting a "for sale" add but I just left a retiring old timers shop that did aircraft, auto panels and copper flashing & gutters. Shop is full of ewheels, planishing hammer, shears, brakes, clecos, and all the stuff you would expect to do panel work. I told him I would help him out and I would look for a place to advertise for him. Am I in the right place?

Thank you all for the welcome. I will be reading and learning before I start doing much in the way of posting. My background with sheet metal working is associated with former NASCAR Winston Cup cars. When I find time I will do an album to display some of my work. Untill then, here's a couple of shots of a 1987 Monte Carlo I did. The eWheel (forming front fender) is 1 of 4 that I home built using Ron Fornier plans 8 years ago.

Thank you,
