Default New to AllMetalShaping

Hi, My Name is Gary, I Live in Grand Rapids Michigan.I have been doing body work for 35 years, Six years ago I started making rust repair panels for Mercury Cougars started with a right and left for one year and now build twenty different parts. I also weld and repair plastics and I'm working on a fiberglass spoiler. Never looked a metal shaping until three years ago. Feel STUPID about not getting involved with metal shaping 30 years ago all that time gone. I truly enjoy working metal and can't learn enough fast enough. Hope to be able to help rookies and learn from experience. Plan to open a Metal or hot rod shop soon bought a 9000 sq ft building doing remodeling and buying and building tools. Looking forward to Hastings get together. Thanks

Hi Gary and welcome. I am the host of the meet in Hastings. We had a good time this summer and may do it again. A lot of guys are telling me that a winter meet would be better for them so I am looking at a few dates in late Feb or early May. I will post on this site when available.
