Welcome!
Nice to see a VW enthusiast. I own an 86 vanagon. Also own a 72 914 that is in need of restoration. That is what got me interested in metalshaping.

Hi Jason welcome to the board I remember an old thread from A south American chap who was doing some great work on Kombie trays with mostly hand tools and hammer forms I will post a link to his work if I can find it

Now I just have to remember if it was here or the H.A.M.B or the other metal shaping board were I saw it last

Hello Jason and welcome to the site. I have a few friends into VWs. Here is a link to my friend Simon's website, he and Shane build some of the coolest VW stuff here in the UK. I taught Shane and Simon some basic metalshaping skills many years ago, the stuff they do is very high quality. Its worth checking out their site the guys have had more cars featured in magazines than any one else I know!.

Here is the link. www.thepaintbox.co.uk
