Wanting to learn

Bushmechanics · #1 11-14-2012, 10:59 PM

Hi
My name is Peter LeRoy.
I live in Perth Western Australia.
I am 31 and wanting to learn the basic techniques of panel beating and shaping.
I have absolutely no knowledge on the topic at all.
I am basically a blank book wanting to learn.
I have recently finished restoring a 1956 Holden FJ utility.
I had all the panel and paint work on this utilty done by another guy but want to try and save some money on the next project by doing the panel work myself.
This is my reason for joining to ask questions and get some help.
I was told about this forum by a guy (Paul Noone) who has used this forum before.
I hope to hear from other members who can pass any knowledge on.
Cheers
Peter LeRoy

Hi Peter,

do you mean a FJ Landcruiser? Pics would be fine.

Hello Peter, welcome to the forum. Learning to shape using basic tools is a good idea, it will always stand you in good stead no matter how many tools and machines you have.
