Default hello from wichita ks

Hello all, my name is Philip (or Phil) i am from wichita ks. lived here all my life, i have always been into shaping things from metal and have made a few art pieces from sheetmetal, i married a woman and inherited two awesome step daughters and the wife and i recently had a son together. my plan is to build him a peddle car with a body modeled after a T bucket (thinking '27) so i am on here wanting to learn more about the art of metal shaping and how you all do it and the tools used....
thank you

Hey Phil,

Welcome. I'm down the road from you a few miles to the east. And I built a pedal car for my grandson a few years ago. So we have a couple things in common. Good luck on the build.
