I'm Mark and a recent addition here.

[Jester YTZ]

I'm from the central NY region and I want to be a member here because I am restoring a 65 Mustang, 66 Mustang, 75 Lemans, and am fixing up an old beater 83 K20 [current project]. In this economy just slinging new parts at a restoration is just not possible. So using the techniques of metal forming and shaping is the best choice in addition to being a seemingly lost art. I have used a hammer or two in the past but usually to pound in nails or to break something but never to create. Now I hope to use this resource to assist me in my restoration projects and get past the hulk smash thought process for using a hammer. My main focus is door panels when patching how do I avoid warping and if warping occurs how to fix it; door panels are extremely difficult especially when you can't get inside to use the dolly. That's were this forum will be of greatest interest to me. I hope that the admins approve my membership here and look forward to all the help.
