Default Thirsty for knowledge

Hi I'm Clint. I am a mechanical engineer with a desire to learn metal shaping. I have done a lot of basic automotive fabrication (cutting, welding, some tube bending for roll cages/bumpers), but I'm interested in forming sheet metal. The most I've done is form some sheet over a wood form to make simple radius bends. I just purchased a bead roller and I'm excited to start making panels (floor pans, transmission tunnel). Eventually I want to get a complement of tools (shrinker, stretcher, english wheel, etc). I'm here to learn!

Thanks,
Clint

Find a car in a garden and start remaking it .... that’s how l learnt....1969 GPO Morris Minor Postal engineering Van.
Then someone Else found one in a garden and once again l remake one more old car but this time it was for a living... 1958 Aston Martin DB2/4 mklll Drophead.... see Prestige Paintworks and car on Utube.

Cheers Matt.
