New from New Hampshire
Been lurking here for a while figured its time to jump in. I've been doing bodywork and working on cars and trucks for over 30 years. I'm currently working on a 31 model A coupe of my own. I also have a 29 Model A pickup and a36 Ford coupe. I love working with metal and welding. I am really interested in learning to make my own body panels.
Recently built a foot operated stand for my shrinker-stretcher( copied from a design I saw here or elsewhere). Also built a stand for my HF beadroller. Hope to find a motor to power it soon. Would like to build or buy an English wheel this summer. Thats all for now. Rob cars 536.jpg cars 587.jpg mt washington motors 009.jpg mt washington motors 010.jpg

Welcome to allmetalshaping Rob, I like your Model A, I like the A coupe better than the '32. Looks like it is taking shape. You dont have to wait untill you have built a wheel, you can shape panels without any machines. I think it is best to do some hand shaping before trying to us a wheel because it is more intuative.

I have a small beater bag and a teardrop mallet. I've been helping my neighbor with his 64 Plymouth Fury. Trying to make a patch for the outer wheel well. Its starting to take shape. Heres some pics.
