Default Hi from Sid

My name is Sid, I live in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
I would like to learn the art of metal shaping, so that I can make repair panels for a car, that I am restoring.

I am perfecting my MIG welding technique, and have repaired sections of the floor and rocker panels. These are easy to fabricate flat sections.

Next are the wheel arch panels, these are corroded and need replacing. I will have to fabricate them myself as repair panels are no longer available. This is why I need to join this forum, as I have no idea how to fabricate body panels.

Sid
