-Hi there,
I just found this site and thought I'd drop in for a visit.
My real name is Scott, but everyone knows me as "Unclepsycho", I live about an hour north of the Golden Gate Bridge. I have been welding since 1976, mostly pipe frame gates ornamental iron, as well as anything else that needs repair. I havent done much sheet metal until recenty, I tried to weld in a patch panel on my 1974 MG Midget. Wow, what a challange that turned out to be. Anyway, I am now getting more interested in sheetmetal fabrication so here I am.
I may not have a lot to add here at first and will be eager to learn what I can.
I have built my own off road 4x4, (a 1972 Jimmy), building a 1995 honda custom chopper, am also building a 1965 chevy C-10 onto a 1990 4x4 1-ton chassis, just got 2 of the 3 dirt bikes running (70's vintage) and am just finishing up a 1974 MG Midget (all stock).
I have too many projects, but at least it aint boring around here!

Welcome aboard Scott, How about posting a few pics of what you do.

Thanks for the welcome,
I was reading the Art deco Roadster, and 41 Ford threads! wow, I feel like a beginner hobbiest amidst some true craftsmen.
I wll try to get a couple pictures on here. I've been into motorcycles lately, not a whole lot of sheetmetal there, but I took a few pictures of the MG fender I repaired. I'll start a new thread maybe tomorrow on that one.

Hey there's nothing wrong with motor cycles post them up too.

I'm doing one for myself at the moment.

Thanks again for all the welcomes,
I will start a new thread for the MG. I did finally get the fender done after 8 or 9 tries, I think I only got it by accident, but it came out , ok.
