Thumbs up Huge HI from Down Under!

Hi everyone, I am Matt and live in a tiny little town in the west of Victoria (Australia).

I am new to metalshaping and about to commence a full Restoration / Modification of my 1962 EK Holden, and therefore need to learn a lot to make this project successful. I have decided to learn and do as much as possible myself rather than pay someone else to do it for me, that way although it may not be perfect, I will have gained the skills for life, and the pride of my work in the vehicle.

I also love to see the genius of some of the creations and tools used on here and what can be achieved.

I found this site by searching for information on how to repair rust / make vehicle panels.

Looking forward to hanging out with you guys!

Cheers
M@
