Default Greetings from Austin, TX

Hi,

I'm RansomEli and have just joined this site. I live in the Austin, TX area and am building a circa-1913 Franklin speedster/raceabout from scrap parts. I need to create bucket seats, gas tank, cowl and fenders from scratch.

This site can give me valuable advice. I've done paint and bodywork, but not metal shaping. Need advice on buying and using an English Wheel, amongst other
things.

Welcome to the forum, RansomEli.
I once put a fair amount of work into a 1911 Speedcar ....
