Car guy interested in metal fab
 

Hello, my name is Joe from Massachusetts. I'm a commercial roofer by trade and a car enthusiast. I'm motor guy, I like to rebuild engines. I always stayed away from bodywork, but I'm looking to learn about sheet metal work/welding. I have a nice old ten foot brake that we bend up all our metal flashings on the roof. I picked up a big, old lathe and a 4' finger brake which has got me excited to play around with some steel in the shop.

I'm a member of the HAMB forum, which this site was referenced a few times. So I'm here to learn what I can to get started on a couple of shop projects I have in mind, and share the results.

Hope that gets me in, this site is like Fort Knox lol

Hi Joe, welcome to allmetalshaping. I am a fellow hamb member. I am building a '27 T on a 32 chassis. You don't need much in the way of tools and machines to start shaping metal, a lot can be done with a few hand tools.

Thanks guys!

Hey David thanks for the welcome, I just watched your youtube video. Looks really great. I want to pick up one of your DVDs. So do you do everything by hand? Awesome

Peter I've been watching your videos, cool stuff. I'll be checking your site out too. I noticed the different Aussie cars your working on. I'm a big ford falcon fan, and you guys have the best ones down there!

Thanks and awesome cobra!!

Yea :D in my opinion the best is the GT HO muscle car of the 70s'
