Default new old guy from Illinois

hello. My name is Dave Maxwell from central illinois. I was a memberr here awhile back, but don't have my info or same email account. I work at komatsu building multi ton dump trucks. I own Maxwell's Rod and Custom as a side business I hope to make full time soon. I am an ameteur metal worker. I love working with metal and hope to someday take some classes from the great ones. I am married with two wonderful children. I love tig welding, but am self taught from reading and such so I have alot to learn. I am buildng a 70 F100 tube chassis pro street truck. Has a 588 bbf with air. Custom sheet metal engine bay and bed cover. I have a box pan brake and mittler bead roller. Miller 251 mig and synrowave 200 tig. I have body hammers and stuff. So obviously I have alot to purchase yet. Either be english wheel, planishing hammer or cnc plasma next. Ok I think that sums it up with extras. Rambling along

Welcome from a fellow Peoria area guy. My preference is working on pre WW2 cars, particularly Model T Fords. I am temporarily sidelined on some other jobs right now, but I have plans to build the rear quarter panels for 1926/1927 touring cars.

Dave you'll feel right at home here. I've worked with trucks and heavy equipment for a long time too. Sometimes it's hard to do both. You should post a few pictures of your f100. You making it an extended cab for the familly?
