Default Hi from NZ

Hi all. I'm a metal spinner from down here in New Zealand.

I popped in here for a bit of a nosey as i'm taking on a new project that is completely different for me and I need some inspiration/guidance.

I'm used to doing all my metal shaping on a lathe so now when it comes to making curved panels i'm a newbie!!

I'm currently building a volksrod. Custom 4x2 chassis, beetle front end and vw type 3 rear subframe/engine.
It is a 4 seater roadster pickup and as much as it will be a fun vehicle it will also be a rolling billboard covered in spun items.

So anyway as well as getting educated on a bit of shaping i'll also hang round the metal spinning threads a bit and help out where possible and maybe even show a few items.
