Default Hello from South Africa.

As the title states I am from South Africa. I'm 42 years old and works as a custom car builder. Have always been into cars like my father and his father before him. Only recently got into metal shaping, so I have allot to learn!

Current projects I'm working on at home is a 1948 Chevy Pickup and a 1990 Honda Steed VLX 600. At work I am busy with a 1958 Chev Apache 3600 stock rebuild, a 1958 Chev Apache 3100 Panel Truck fixing a botched suspension swap and a 1956 Chevy 3100 full custom chassis.

I dabble a bit in CNC machining and 3D printing to make custom parts for my bike and truck.
