Hello from South of DFW!

Hi Guys,

I just joined up and pretty excited I found this forum! A quick background of myself is that I’ve been into classic cars all my life and have restored many to OE levels with obtaining Gold at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals with my A12 Super Bee about three years ago. And following that, it took Best of Show out of 700 cars at the Mopar Spring Fling right after I won the award at MCACN. I do pretty much all of the restoration myself to include the sheet metal work, paint and body, mechanical, and electrical. I’d like to take my hobby to the next level and that’s metal forming and building my own replica of my dream car: the BMW 507.

I’m about ready to assemble the body buck and will be looking for guidance and help from all you guys that would like to help out a fledgling newbie to metal shaping like myself. I’ve got a lot of things planned for the chassis, drivetrain, and unibody structure for it, but the biggest challenge for me by far will be forming the body so it doesn’t turn out like “The Homer” from the Simpsons!!

Nice to meet you all, and I’ll post up more soon with all the details of my body buck.
