Hi, my name is Randy, I've been working on my metal shaping skills for a few years now just completed a cj5 tub rebuild. I am now working on a 66 Econoline that needs most of the panels patched or replaced, lots of compound curves. I am here to learn and hopefully contribute some day.

Hello Randy, welcome to the site. look around and you will find some threads on making a stump. This is one of the first tools you will need for compound curves. I show a little of the process on my youtube footage.
