Default New guy from Austin

I everyone. I'm new to your forum after becoming interested in metal work. I've worked with wood all my life, but always been a little intimidated with metal. I've done stick welding on the family ranch, but nothing more sophisticated.

I've completed a '64 1/2 Mustang and now want to work on some older '30s-'50s vintage cars, and all that requries more metal working skills than I currently possess. Got sent here from H.A.M.B and am impressed with the skill on your site.

I am a chemical/electrical engineer by profession and make computer chips here in Austin.

Greg
