Hello from Hamilton
 

Hi from Hamilton, I used to be a auto bodyman for a living, but gave it up in the mid 90's. I now work as an Industrial Mechanic. I still do some side projects. I have a friends 32 ford 3 window as a project right now. Lots of work to complete. I have to make door skins for it, as they are missing. I'll be asking for advise when that part gets started.

I am also almost finished putting my 60 Chevy back together, and will be starting another project as soon as I can. I like the punishment, or so it would seem.

I bought Ron Fournier's Metal Fabricators Handbook years ago and started building a track T roadster back in 1994/5 but I abandoned it to buy a house and such. Time to get back at it.....

Welcome to the site Ian:cool:

Welcome aboard Ian.

Hope to meet you at the spring meet.

Welcome to Allmetalshaping Ian!:)

Hey Ian! Welcome to All Metal Shaping from Niagara Falls. :D

Cheers!

Welcome from another Canuck.

Thanks for the Welcome. Wow some locals as well, that's great. Meet in the spring? Would like some more info on that.

I'll be hosting a meet late April or early May in the east end of Toronto.
I will post more later in the events section when I firm up the dates.

Pictures from current projects
 

My 60 impala, time to fix up the floors. Of course once I was almost finished restoring the panels, the entire floor is now available.:o Oh well made some new rollers for the bead roller and learned a bunch. There are about 50 or so patches to make up this quilt.:rolleyes:http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/a...s/DSC06998.jpg

Nice work on the floor.
Keep the pics coming.

Hello Ian, welcome to the site, I missed your initial post. Looks like a lot of work on the floorpan. Like you said time to get back on the T tub. I am building a'27 T hot rod roadster for myself and i am making the body from scratch. I will post some photos soon. I love that ally boat!

The Chevy is a Canadian built and driven car. The floor was the expected mess. I'll have to find the before pictures. I should have started with something in better shape. Here's a picture on the way to have it blasted. I could have had it blasted before I started welding, but the headliner would have been damaged. :o It was funny looking going down the street with the car mounted on the trailer. I did the outside of the car years ago, it's holding up well.

I've been looking at the boat, and thinking it would be a nice project to build from scratch. Just metal shaping. and then hang the motor on.
