Default Howdy from Texas
Found the link on the HAMB. I am getting ready to start the bodywork and floors on my 51 Fleetline so I have been reading every post I can. I have acquired a few tools, and watched a few DVDs, and will make a few more tools. I learn more from watching or studying a picture than anything else. In my case, a picture is worth more than a thousand words.

Thanks
Darryl

Default Thanks For the welcomes
I acquired a few things over the past couple of weeks...

I built a cart for my oxy/acetylene rig...


Mounted my gas saver and made a bracket to hold the torch...


I bought a sandbag from Dagger tools and made a stand for it...


I bought a bead roller and beefed it up...looking into powering it.
David Gardiner's DVD... Watched it about 5 times already...
4x8 sheet of 18 guage...

If I only had some time to go out in the garage and mess something up...

Hi Darryl, Welcome to the site! I think I am right in saying you only bought the DVD quite recently you have watched it a lot in such a short period!.

Hey David, Yes I just got it a couple of weeks ago. I have 2 monitors at work and have it playing on one screen while I work on the other. I watch alot of videos this way...I have a drawer full of dvds of different people doing something with cars...You did a great job with the DVD. Well worth your effort. Thank You.
