Default Hi From Northern Cal

Hi everyone, i am a hardware store manager from northern california that is a gear hear threw and threw. I am curently building a 1969 land rover series that is being built to go to south amarica in. I also have a 1959 buick and just recently got the bug to hand build a 1934 chevy roadster pickup to race a bonnivill. have been around a while seeing what is going on and have to say there is a lot of talent here to learn from and cant wait to learn more.

Hello Sam:

I live up in Willits and have almost every tool you would need to do most of the projects you mentioned including a tubing bender (1"-1 1/4"-1 /12"). I don't know what tools you already have but seeing what I have might help you make a decision as to what you might want to buy.

All your questions can be answered on this site by very knowledgeable people.

All tools are a hammer except the chisel.....That's a screwdriver.
