Thumbs up Hello from Columbia, SC

My name is William. I have a few projects that I hope to work on. I'm currently working on a 1947 Chevrolet Coupe, that I've converted into a hardtop. Hence my log in name. I'm also helping my father with a 1950 Chevrolet truck. I teach (Physical Education) school to special needs(ADD, ADHD, Aspergers, Dyslexia) children by day. I also coach basketball, cross country, and golf. I am very excited about this hobby. I really want to learn how to bend, shrink, stretch, and reshape metal. I have many tools, but just need some guidance. I have traveled four hours to Tennessee for the day just to gain some knowledge and ideas about this hobby. I have other cars that to complete, but first I need to gain some knowledge.
