Default Newb from CA

Hey, Guys. My name is Gustavo and I am a 23 year old sheet metal fabricator. I found out I had a knack for this skill when I was just 14 years old in my high school metal shop class. I was performing at a higher level than the rest of my classmates, and soon realized that there was a lot more I could do with this skill outside of my high school. About six months later I was working in a shop, with my now fiance's dad, restoring classic volkawagons. With him, I learned so much and was able to take my skill set that much further. I was next taken under the wing of an old Swedish guy, whom very popular in the Porsche world, was impressed with the quality of work I was creating using very simple tools like a hammer and dolly. It was with him that I learned about the tools of the trade and got a greater understanding of how metal works. I left this field of work for a couple of years to focus on my other passions, college and wrestling, but now im back. I'm here to learn from everyone and I'm glad to be part of a dying breed.
