Thumbs up Another New Metal Man

Hello everyone, my name is Dave B and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I currently work in public service, but prior to that worked as a motor mechanic for a number of years. I have always been interested in restoring old cars and whilst I might be able to do the mechanical stuff, I just don't have the skills to do body work, hence my joining this site. I am hoping to find some guidance on where to start, what books, DVD's and seminars might be helpful. Cheers, Dave B
