Default Hello from Norway

Hi, my name is Geir, I am 46 years old and live at the west coast of Norway. I have been working with cars and machines for most of my life, but I just recently discovered my interest for metal shaping.
My only achievement within metal shaping so far is making new quarter panels and door skins for my Land Rover Series 3. I found that working with the 5052 aluminium was great fun and I learned a lot even though there is not much compound curves on a Series 3.
I hope to join the forum because I would like to learn as much as possible about metal shaping. My ultimate goal is to be able to make an old car body from flat sheet, maybe a model T roadster.
