Hi Everyone,

Having retired from a business restoring and selling parts for XK Jaguar sports cars, bought a new small home and find myself at a bit of a loose end, have just invested in a bead roller and started making metalworking formers and cleaning and polishing some old sykes pickavant hammers and dollies in preparation for the forming of repair panels for my 1979 Chevy C10 1/2 ton ex USAF truck also I have been collecting parts for the assembly of a 1928 model A phaeton as a vintage hot rod here in jolly old Blighty where we have quite a large following for your 1920/30's vintage cars.

Hopefully, if and when I am accepted into your community I might learn how to properly apply what tools I do have to accomplish my goals and maybe in my small way to contribute to the community chest of knowledge

Welcome to the forum Steve, I’ll be interested to see pictures of your C10. I’ve had a bit of a soft spot for them after seeing the one in the film The Driver, which starred Ryan O’Neal.
