Re-Intro Hello from the Big Smoke

[Bearston]

My name is Peter and I live in Toronto, Canada. I am new to metal shaping and have a Porsche 911 that I want to restore. Hope to learn more about how to make the panels I will need for my project. Also want to see how others make their panel and the tools they use. I also misspelled my name at 2 am when I registered, so this is the updated name so that I won't forget and curse the screen in frustration.

Ok, so I copied the requested introduction. Here are my words. Living in Toronto for most of my life and I've had a life long affliction for early Porsche 911. I have two of them rotting in my driveway and I'm expecting to get to them this summer. Fact is that I have will have a quantity of sheet metal to replace such as rocker panels, gas tank support, windshield corner, etc and I am expecting to tear out a substantial amount of my what's left of my hair bringing these two sweeties back to life. Because of this, I decided to name one Frank and the other one Stein, so side by each they'll be known as Frank 'N' Stein...somewhat appropriate. I really want to learn how to pound and finesse 20 ga. and get my 2 lovelies back to their glory. A long process for sure, but I have the will and the patience to do so. No, these are not my first resto's , but they are the first ones that'll have a good bit of new metal. I hope to develop my skills with the help of the fine group of knowledgeable and good people on this forum. These skills will add to the skills I already possess, I apprenticed as a Tool and Die maker once upon a time and my father was a mechanical engineer that taught me a whole lot, too. Next to Music, welding is my next biggest obsession, now if only I could get really good at it, I just don't have enough torch time to sharpen my skills, but that'll happen once this project is under way.

Well, off to the boards for now, see you out there!!

Peter
