Another new guy.

[Fast Jimmy]

Hi! I just joined and am not sure where to go with this introduction but here goes. I'm 68 and decided about 10 years ago if I didn't start messing around with old cars and trucks them, I'd never do it. So I bought a 1939 IH D2 pickup and decided to restore it, Having no previous metal working skills, I joined the local street rod club to develop some contacts. Luckily, I found another old timer who has taught me the basics of repairing car sheet metal and metal finishing rather than gobbing on "bondo". Now I find the need to make some more intricate parts that will require more than a hammer and dolly. So, I've made the trek to Harbor Freight and stocked up with their shrinker/stretcher (which works pretty good, I think), their planishing hammer (seems to be o.k., but I've only used it to remove some dents in a fender) and their English wheel, which from what I've read, needs some work to make it usable.

Feel free to offer advice!
