From the potato state
Greetings all. I bought my first 1932 Ford 3-window coupe when I was 19. I made the mistake of letting the doors go with that body. It took almost 30 years to find another set of metal doors, but the car is finally done due to some very talented people from the Boise area. During that time, I have heard of body men who don't use filler, and metal workers who can make hard to find parts from flat stock, and I've decided I want to be one of them. By the time I retire, I hope to be tooled up and have the talent to put the metal where I want it the first time every time. The only way I know how to do this is practice, practice, practice, and learn from the masters every chance I get.

Hello Gene, welcome to the forum. Start with small panels and learn how the metal moves, once you have an understanding of what can be done and how metal can be beaten smooth you will be on your way.
