Default Wanting to learn

Hi everyone, My name is Chris i live in Melbourne Australia. About 6 months ago i bought a 1948 GMC cab over engine pickup from The state of Washington in the US. It's a daulcab on a 1978 p30 chassis. It does need some rust repairs and i would love to be able to make them myself one day. This seems like a really good place to start.

Chris

Thank you for the warm welcome. I have no previous experience in metal shaping but i would like to learn. Never too old they say. I have a few rust patches on my 48 GMC coe pickup that will need fixing. They are on the rear gaurds. Love your work Peter. Any advice on how to get started would be greatly appreciated.

Chris.
