Hello from California

Hey guys and gals,

My name is Daniel and I am a tool & die maker by trade working mainly in prototypes , but I have been a member over at MM and been dabbling in sheet metal forming for about 6 years now.
I have been interested in cars, planes, and bikes since I was a little kid "imagi-racing" while sitting in my uncles 60's era Formula 5000 (before it turned into F1) racecar.
I went through an auto body and paint course at the adult school after high school, but hated the whole "filler it up and squirt it" attitude, I couldn't understand why nobody wanted to fix the METAL!
Anyway, I love making tools and art, and have just recently started a scratch built 1955 Porsche 550 in 5052 aluminum to give me something more challenging to work on.

Cheers,

Your call Daniel but there are numerous folks (on both sites) that don't read other site.
