Hello from Northern Ohio

[ccm399]

Hi all,

I have been gathering up tools and information about metal shaping for about six months or so now. I have some basic tools and have purchased some additional tooling too. I just received my shrinker-stretcher set from Eastwood and I have the upper and lower anvils at the house to start making my own E-wheel.

I am not totally new to metal shaping but I have never really invested in the tooling until now... I have a 1971 Firebird that I am going to be COMPLETELY redoing so there is a lot of heavy duty metal working on my future!

As I said I am not new to metal shaping or fabrication but I normally worked for a shop and had access to all the tooling I needed. But now after a career change a few years back I have to gather all the tools to have on hand at the house. In addition to the stuff I already mentioned, I own Miller 175 MIG and Diversion 165 TIG welders so I can weld up pretty much any metal I need for this project.

Can't wait to get started actually shaping some parts!

Thanks for looking.

Chris
