Live in Chambersburg Pa, currently restoring 63 Chrysler New Yorker Station Wagon.
Professionally I've serviced CNC sheet metal fabricating machinery for years, lasers, punches, press brakes etc. Before that I was a machinist spinning handles on Bridgeports and Lathes.
I'm looking to learn the art of hand metal shaping the old school way, I've hammered metal in my shop dozens of times with results ranging from atrocious to barely passable.
I've always looked at cars from the first half of the 20th century in awe. The skills coach builders had in producing custom vehicles like Limousines, Hurst's and Ambulances was amazing. Coach builders like LeBaron and Ghia , George Barris, even those guys on tv with their dopey tv shows have skilled fabricators doing the real work of metal shaping.
I work with leading edge technology every day and my escape is getting back to basics where the art of vocation and skilled craftsmen reside.
