Greetings from the Southern Hemisphere

[mattdejongh]

Hello all,

So, about me. I was born in South Africa but spent most of my life in San Diego and the west coast in general. Seeking adventure and generally disillusioned with the state of things in America, I decided to move back to my mother land.

I work for a vehicle conversion company building everything from ambulances to mobile vets. That includes basic tube work to fabricate partitions and such as well as metal cabinets made from flat stock. I've dabbled with a few failed gas tank builds but i've never had the resourceses or tools to do the metal shaping I've dreamed of. Hopefully I will find the inspiration here to embark on my own metal shaping odyssey.

Side note: if you've ever watched any of the newer Jesse James shows, there's a guy on them named Kail. I went to Wyotech with him and we put a camaro front sub frame on a 55 chevy truck. Anyway, I used to know someone famous...I feel cool. As for Jesse James, he is a jackass. ...
