New guy from Kansas

[sevt_chevelle]

Stumbled across the site a few weeks back and thought Id finally say hello.
Originally from Iowa but now live in Overland Park Kansas which is a burb of Kansas City.

Ive been to several local regional metal meets and one in Oblong back in 2006, just cant seem to find the time anymore. One of the best meets I attended was Doug Hawkins truck build, had a great time with some good people.

Am a former body man who did collision repair, now I work for General Electric as an electrical engineer. Hopefully now Ill feel like going out in the garage and actually doing something. Finally blowing off the dust and getting to use that beautiful Imperial E-wheel.
I like to collect old body tools, have a pretty nice collection of Porter Ferguson tools and looking forward to to seeing some of the old cool tools that some of you guys have laying around.

Been working on restoring a 1949 chevy truck that my grandfather bought brand new, going pretty slow but what restoration doesnt.
Most of my experience revolves around metal finishing and doing small patch panels, some day Id like to build an entire panel like a fender.
