As a brief intro, I have recently retired and now hope to have a lot more time to do metal working as a hobby. My main interest is metal working as it applies to automotible bodies. My immediate goal is to reaquaint myself with the basics and aquire some additional tooling. I look forward to discussion with the group members and scanning the albums and old posts. Chuck L

Welcome to AllMetalShaping Chuck. Are you the 'CoupeChuck' that built the Cobra Daytona Coupe that has caused so many metal shapers to lay awake at night drooling....?

HI Chuck
Welcome to the forum Peter

Hi Chuck and welcome!:)

Hi Chuck, welcome aboard.

Kerry,

Yes, I am the crazy that built the Daytona Cobra coupe. I've got about 7,500 "test" miles on the car to date. Still a few things to finalize, but I've been having such a good time driving, I've been hard pressed to get back to working on it. Now that I've retired, I hope to have a little more time to focus on metal work.

Chuck

I gotta tell you Chuck, much of what I've become in the metal shaping world is all your fault:eek:

I was really, really blown away by the original web site you had on AOL way back when. It inspired and motivated me and...well...here I am.

I hope you'll post some content and photos....we LIKE photos.

Hi Chuck and welcome to the site.

David

I wouldn't be surprised if tens of thousands of views on your old AOL website were from posters/enthusiasts on this forum! Great project by the way.

All,

Attahced is a photo of the coupe from a trip to Northern California last fall. Believe it or not, this was a camping trip and I had my sleeping bag and tent in the back of the car.

I look forward to chatting with you all.
