Thumbs up Hi Everyone.!!

Hello everyone, My Name is Jack. I am an Aircraft sheetmetal worker , having been in the industry for 34 years, 30 years with a major airline, including 19 years teaching aircraft maintenance and repair. The last 4 years i have been building Wings from scratch (samples) for three WW2 USAAF P-47 Thunderbolts.
I have been a do it yourself vintage car restorer since 1985, with my main interest in 1931 -1932 chevrolets at the moment.

Glad to have found this forum, and looking fwd to learning lots more from all you Folk.
Thanks Jack

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome, The great barrier reef is a fabulous place to see, as to my chevies, they are a group of chassis in a pile in my shed , with parts collected over the last 10 years to put together a 1932 tourer , and a 1931 (maybe a roadster ) but i will also have to make the rear quarter panels and trunk lid to complete it. I haven't ever made any repair panels that big, but there is always a first time for everything.
Cheers From Down under, Jack
