- - Hi from Chicago (https://allmetalshaping.com/showthread.php?t=5713)

Hi everyone, my name is Dan. I'm pretty new to metal work, but I'm excited to get to know more about it. I have a '57 Cadillac Coupe DeVille but it was too nice to cut up so I bought a '54 Cadillac Fleetwood. I plan on doing a lot of metal work to it, so I'll be doing a lot of reading on this site. I started out with new floor pans and next is smoothing the firewall. I'm not sure what I'll do after that. Here is a picture of the floor pans though...

Hi and welcome Dan!
Floor looks good. That is the best place to start. If it's not perfect no one will see it any way:D

Welcome Dan, where you at in Chicago (north side, south side)? Bob Foster

Hello Dan, welcome to allmetalshaping, Looks as though you have had fun making the floor pan, there are several ways of forming beads like that by hand, I show a little of a method I use on my you tube footage.
