Hooked at the Roundup!

[Heavy breather]

I have listened to Ty1295 Jeff talk about this community for a couple years now and when he offered up the chance to attend the Roundup, I had to be there. I met a great bunch of guys and learned some things about a skill I have always wanted but never really knew where to start.

So, not knowing exactly what info I need to include here I will just leave it at the following:
My name is Mike, I hammered out my first panel at age 16 on a VW Beetle, and built my first panel on a 72 fury....fender skirts, and there was more kitty hair than sheet metal. But it was the only way I knew how, and my skills haven't gotten much better since. Hopefully with a little guidance and some advice from this board, that will all change.
