I am new to metal shaping. Over the years I have collected several metal shaping tools (planning for retirement hobby - classic car restoration). Can't wait for retirement, have purchased a Nissan Skyline GTS-T in need of repairs. Cheap entry level project to test my skills!

Hoping to learn a lot from AllMetal Shaping members.

BTW: I would like to hear from any Adelaide members who are willing to help me with bead rolling (several small floor panels)... cheers!

Welcome Richard,
You will get a lot from the members - If you are not sure on a job just post a thread and you will get the information that you want.
I live in Bathurst - NSW.

All the best

Welcome mate to the forum.
You might think about even using a hand crank bead roller to do your own beading. That is all I use and has come in handy for more things than I bought it for.

Thanks Marcus. Bead roller is definitely on the list of tools to buy. Just hoping to farm out this initial job.
