Default Completely new to metal shaping

Hello.

I have a 50's Chrysler station wagon and know it'll require some metal shaping to get it back in it's original condition.

For the most part, I'll just be reading the wealth of knowledge here since I can offer up nothing that would help anyone here.

Getting a late start at all of this (I'm 42) but am really excited to start learning new stuff and, hopefully, opening my 3 boys' eyes to something new and different.

Thanks,

Damon

Hi Damon and welcome!
This will be a great time to have some father - sons time
Some of my best memories are from the time I helped my son build a T bucket.
He was Jr. In high school when we started and drove in his senior year.

Really cool! you should post some pics of the car!

My mother owns a monogram company and in middle school doing the interior in my rx7 was one the best spring breaks i ever had. staying up late to get the double stitching done on the dash is memorable. Jealous of your boys getting to help with some metal!
