Default hello everyone

Hi everyone

names jeff

live in kellyville, nsw, Australia

been working on a 1938 chevy 1/2T truck for the past year nearly finished but my metal working skills are lacking so i thought i would come here in the hopes to learn and find out how to properly work sheet metal and how to use all the tools might even make some friends .

thank you
