Default Hello from Colorado Springs

Hi all,

I'm new to metal working, my new I mean I've swung a hammer at some metal like objects a handfull of times. I'm looking to get into some basic shaping and fabrication of metal for hobbying. Not 100% on what I'm doing but I figured this is a good place to start.

Currently I'm working full time and trying to get my BA, but working on cars/motorcycle is a big love of mine. Since I've never touched the autobody and customization side of work I'd like to get some experience. My garage has a cafe racer project I'm working on, so my first real sheet metal work will be an underpan for my subframe. What should I get to start myself off?
