Hello from Ventura

[805maker]

Hello! My name is Ryan and I live in Ventura, CA (though my shared shop space is in Ojai). I've been interested in metal shaping for a long time, but have only recently had the freedom to pursue it. I took a class with Christian Sosa last year and have been getting some practice on a '57 CJ5 I've been building for my dad (stretched 8" to fit a 5.3 and an automatic) and preparing for a '56 F100 build for myself.

I've slowly acquired or made tools over the last couple of years in order to get this Jeep project done. I ended up making a new floor, firewall, and I'm in the process of making a new transmission tunnel now.

I'm looking forward to learning from all of the members here!
