Hot rodder from Kirkland WA
 

I've been working and re-working my '67 Mustang for about 15 years, been through every bolt on upgrade and at this point I am driving my 3rd full tube frame version of it. I hate working with composites itchy nasty stuff. Plus I don't have the patience for it - with metal shaping things are coming together right in front of you, not after building a plug and sanding and laying up and releasing etc.

I originally just needed some big flares for my tires, shown below. Not much shaping in those but still an excellent learning experience and they came out pretty well. All I have is a JET slip roller, cheapass HF bead roller, cheapass HF brake, and Eastwood shrinker/stretchers and a few hammers and dollies. I don't even have a shot bag yet. But all the bodywork shown below is aluminum.

Now I'm re-doing the flares and rockers and I have this strange notion that I want to build the whole front fender and who knows what else out of aluminum so I'm looking for more knowledge. I love seeing a flat sheet of metal turned into a 3d object.

Preston, welcome to AllMetalShaping, Kerry's roadster is a learning experience and fun to work on. I lived in Spokane for a while and was there to participate in the Mount St. Helens fun. Post pictures on the panel that you make for your Mustang.

Cool stang, Welcome to the site!

Welcome aboard Preston.
