Default New kid from Tampa area

Hey everyone, My name is Max and I'm from down here in sunny Florida in the Tampa Bay area. I'm still a pretty young guy so I can't really afford to undertake any huge projects, but I'm hoping to fabricate an Eleanor style hood for my '01 Mustang and then maybe try my hand at making a custom removable hardtop for it (its a convertible and I've always thought a full fastback would look good on my model Mustang). I was honestly pretty amazed to see some of the things that can be made without some elaborate manufacturing plant, and I'm looking forward to learning how to make some parts myself too.

Now that would be good to see.
