Hey all,
I am from Reno, NV and I am interested in metal shaping. I have been fabricating with metal for about 6-7 years now. I am self taught through reading forums and trial and error. I am looking forward to reading the info on this site.

Here's to many weeks of reading and learning new stuff!!

I am currently working on building a 1986 Chevy Silverado 2 wheel drive. I am building it in my garage with very basic tools (grinders, cut-off wheels, sawzall, cordless drills, and a welder). I am currently trying to get my hands on a sheet metal brake and a bead roller to start on the floor and firewall.

I Z'd the frame 3"

I dont think I have any pictures of the finished Z. Sorry.

Cody, looks like you did a nice job on the Z. Hope to see more of your work.

Thanks guys! I am learning a lot about metal shaping! This is a great site. Looks like I will be purchasing a HF bead roller soon so that I can start modifying it to actually work!
