New guy from St. Louis

[breeze612]

My Name is Jeff Briesemeister (pronounced Breeze-my-stir).

I had typed a big 'ol long introduction going over all of my past, present & future, but since I recently had a terrible table saw accident that took parts of both of my index fingers, my typing took too long & when I clicked "Preview", I lost my entire post because my login timed out. DOH! So, now I'm being much more brief.

My awesome wife bought me a metalworking class with Ron Fournier, and that has really fuelled my passion to learn more.

I'm lucky enough to have a detached shop, and have tons of metal and woodworking tools. Metalwork has been pretty much the last thing I haven't learned about cars, and after my hands recover, I'm diving right in to quarterpanels, floors & some custom patch panels on a basketcase old '68 Camaro. Depending on my success level, I'll sell or scrap the Camaro, then move on to my '67 Pontiac Tempest that I'd really like to do some neat stuff to.

I joined this forum hoping to gather knowledge and advice I don't have, be able to share what I can about what I do know, and basically have fun.

I appreciate and understand the value of everyone's time, and would offer in advance my sincere appreciation for any advice or insights.
