New guy from Connecticut

[AncientMariner]

Hi! My name is Michael and I'm from (currently) Preston, CT. Retired USN, submariner. Building a 38 Chevy street rod. Tons of metal shaping required to
Make parts either not available or way too expensive for me. I'm not in a hurry and want to do as much of the work as possible myself. Hoping I can learn/develop some serious skills from others on this forum.
