Default Greetings from Costa Rica

My name is Luis Rapso and I live in San Jose, Costa Rica. I am new to metal shaping and have a Model A that I want to restore. Hope to learn more about how to make the panels I will need for my project. Also want to see how others make their panel and the tools they use.
Yes it looks like a standard, but I am interested into make panels to restore a Model A, Also i am very interested into build some machines to work with metal, I just finished a Bead Roller, an I am working in a Shrinker/Stretcher
bodys are 1/2" plate and plasma cut.

And now I am deciding about a English wheel and a like Pulmax machine to make panels.

Well best regards, for everybody here in All metal Shaping

Hi Luis, welcome to the forum. You dont need a lot of machines to restore panels. I restored the bodies of several model 'A's, love 'em.
