Default Introduction from NE

I started a 1917 Chalmers speedster project with virtually all parts except the cowl on back. After finding the correct fenders, I decided that I couldn't have a fiberglass body with steel fenders. I am in over my head, but I hope to get ideas on building the body as I read and search the posts.

You would benefit from metal shaping classes given at Custom Rides in Hastings NE by PatMan (on this site). Pat's shop number is 402-462-8581. His classes are all hands on with a maximum of 4 people. I have enjoyed my experience with his classes.
