New to this forum
Hello, Ray here in Portland OR... Just a brief history on me and my metal skills. Drywall contractor for a living and car guy for a hobby . For some reason i want to build things that are different and challenging. I seam to operate out of my comfort zone a bunch. In years past i started doing welding projects like little trailers and some lite fab. Now Jumping forward 20 years i turned a 1936 Dodge truck cab into a 3W coupe. 3" chop ,extended the roof and body 7" and hand fabbed the complete tail section with trunk and all. Has a gasser look and fools all that see it. Now off the deap end building a 32 ford roadster from flat sheetmetal..
I tend to be kinda a blacksmith type and have very simple tools.. And yes i bought a junk E wheel and bead roller from Harbor freight to help me through. I would post some project pix but can't yet. My spelling sucks but good with a hammer......Can you let me in now? Thanks, Ray
