Default Hello from Down Under

Hi, I am Dave from Australia. I am an Industrial Arts Teacher in South Australia which includes teaching Metalwork. I have bumped into this site looking for information to assist me in resurrecting a 1927 International light truck that I have taken possession of. The sheet metal requires all new panels to be built and I wish to do it myself with some assistance from fellow sheet metal workers.

Hello Dave, welcome to the site. I also teach but only part time. (At evening classes in metalshaping) There are many ways of forming metal but to me the first step is to learn hwo to brake a panel down into sections that you can manage.
