Default Hello from Winnipeg
Hi guys, I'm from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and just found this site. I'm new to metalworking, but have some streetrod experience.

I'm about to start a 52 Pontiac tin woody wagon in the spring, and figured I should learn how to fix all that bad metal. I quit my job a few years ago to learn about bodywork and got hired in a shop. All I learned after a year was how to wash cars. I was lucky to get my old job back. It seems they pretty much replaced everything instead of repair.

Anyways I figured that hands on trial and error would be my best bet to learn.

Welcome Paul:

What tools do you have for shaping?

I would suggest that one of your first tools would be a DVD from David.
