Default New Guy From Michigan

Hello.
Just registered on the site.
I'm into the hot rod hobby and do a fair amount of fabrication (chasis,bodies,paint,etc.). Metal shaping has always fasinated me but I admit, I'm far from expert on the subject.
I own a few home made shaping tools - E wheel, plannishing hammer, bead roller, louver press, as well as regular sheet metal equipment (shear, break, slip roll).
I'm here to soak up some knowlege from people much more skilled than myself.

Rick,
Thanks for the welcome!
I looked at some of your albums and was fasinated by your fabrication abilities. The stretch limo was particularly interesting. Future project is a model A panel delivery body with a rear window (flower truck??) instead of a flat closed panel. Quite similar to your stretch panel.
I'm getting a little ahead of myself though, I first need to build a pullmax type machine to fab the body lines and window details.
I've been laid up with knee surgery for several weeks and as you might have noticed, I have had waaaay too much time to think.
Randy
