Default Can't wait to get started!

Hello! Well, I guess I'll provide a brief bio:

Life-long car guy who was lucky enough to find his career love early in life. I am co-owner of a Tool & Die Design Contract Design company that has enjoyed being in business since ’04. Married since ’86 and our two kids are off to college. Very involved in our Baptist church and thankfully figured out that loving others as Christ loved me leads to a joy-filled life. My hobby shop includes my business office space, welding area, machining area, paint booth, greasy-stuff area as well as two car lifts. The metal-shaping area is in development! Currently working on a project car I’ve drug around the country since ’90. This basket-case ’63 convertible Corvette is getting the restomod treatment with an SRIII chassis, LS3 w/auto and more. I’ve done some neat sculpting in fiberglass and other mediums over the years and look forward to start the long journey into sheet metal shaping.

Welcome to the AllMetalshaping forum, Scott. You've certainly come to the right place to learn - lots of masters-of-the-craft ready to assist...

I'm sure there are plenty of other members dying to pick your brains on how to make custom tooling for shaping applications.
