Hi Everyone . My name is Dave Gregory .I'm 43 ,I live in Melbourne Australia . I have always had a fascination with metal fabrication and admire those people who can make panels and shape steel . I am hoping to learn and get some tips and advise from the people on here as i am restoring/hotrodding a 1950 plymouth sedan that needs significant rust repairs . I am a member on Ozrodders.com which is how i found this site . Thanks Dave .

Hey Dave,
Funny you should join now, I just got back from 5 weeks in Melbourne (I travel a bit for work, this was a longer engagement than I usually have). I like your town and I like your winter very much, it was considerably better than the summer I spent in Amsterdam 7 years ago...

Thanks for the welcome everyone . here are a couple of pics of the plymouth . The poor old thing has more rust than steel . As you can see by the second photo i have removed the entire floor and centre pillars as the floor and sills were nearly non existing anyway . I still have the bits i cut out for reference and the pillars will be used just repaired where they join the floor / sills . I have had the inner and outer sills remade as well as the floor bracing . I will have lots of less complex bits to make or get made to fill in the bits in between , which i am hoping to learn some skills and get some advise from here so i can do as much as i can myself .

Welcome to the site Dave
Looks like a great project ! Good on you 4 taking it on We are having a bit of a gathering in September (Shameless plug) Check the "events page". It would be great if you could attend. Cheers John PS I'd say it is more likely that you are a distant relation to EKDAVE
