Hello - Total Newbie to metal shaping

[CEC]

Hi,
From what I've gathered this is a great site to learn about metal shaping and forming.

I enjoy learning new things that I can do myself instead of having someone else do it for me. (I'm cheap and broke). I have a couple of future projects that needs some body work (got to get them running again first).
1: a 1973 Chevy C60 dump.
2: a JSW BH-80 excavator.

I'll mostly be reading and learning to start with before I start asking questions.
