I've been working as a welder/fabricator building farm and industrial material handaling equipment since 1994, and have a side business restoring British cars. I've been interested in metal shaping since I got out of high school, but haven't taken any courses or anything, just buying tools as I can afford them, and bumbling around trying to figure it out on my own for the most part, making parts for the cars I work on. Most that know me think I do alright with the metal, but I want to be able to do soo much more than I can now (I'm my biggest crytic, and don't really like how most of my stuff comes out, and always want it to be better).
I'm about to embark on my bigest project yet with an MGBGT that is going to get alot of fabrication done to it to fit a LS series v8 and alot bigger wheel/tire combo than the engineers ever thought of using.

this has been a great place for me to learn, I'm sure you'll find it to be that way also.
