Default Hello from Ohio

I just want to introduce myself. My name is Kevin, I'm 57 years old, born in Bellefontaine, Ohio, but live in Urbana, Ohio (20 years now) recently retired after 31 years as a tool & die maker. I accidently ran across this site and have spent the lasts three days reading up on a car build from scratch, so I figured I had better register and learn all I can. I have done some sheetmetal forming in the past, but most was done using dies. I have a mill and a lathe here at home, but would like to pick up some other equipment to start learning to form sheetmetal. A guys got to have a hobby, and a husband can only spend so much time together day after day
