Hi
My name is Jim I live in Sydney Australia.
I am 50 and have been a mechanic since I was 15 years old.
I like metal work and would consider myself as having reasonable skill levels.
I have played a little with panel forming but nothing large.
I have a fascination with it and enjoy the challenge.
Looking forward to being a member.

Jim

Thanks gents fore the warm welcome.

Yes I have had many projects over the years most where not even mine.

The current one (this is mine) is a GT40, it was ready for paint then I decided to make a full alloy body.
I have been on it for about 8 weeks , I have come to this site to hone my skills.
I have already picked up on a few techniques of build photos.

Jim
