Wasssup? I am Scott. I have come to this site because I have no idea how to shape sheet metal. I have tried but what I have done so far is horrible and everything has been chucked into my failure corner! I am working on a 1955 Chevy Nomad and there are a lot of panels not available for purchase. I would like to fabricate as many panels as I can, but, who can say what the future holds. I can and have a welder. I understand annealing (at least as it relates to copper and brass) but not sure if I should with ferrous metals.

I am a father, husband, photographer and imagineer (I sure hope I coined that phrase!).

Cheers everyone!

Scott
