Default New guy from Faribault, Mn USA

Hello, my name is kyle carlsten, I am an old car guy that can't afford people doing the work for me, who can these days! I have 2 projects I am working on, neither of which have sheet metal parts available so I will have to learn how to make them. I would say the little bit I have done was very rough and self taught, but those pieces were going to be covered now I am getting to the body and must learn the right way! The projects are 1952 Studebaker 2r10(3/4 ton pickup) and a 1930 Hudson 2 door sedan. hope to learn lots from all of you!
Kyle

Welcome to the site Kyle. There is no reason why you cannot make your own repair sections. Start with simple projects and learn how the metal 'moves', learn proper methods of joining the sections and anything is possible.
