hi, I met Kerry at a GMC motorhome rally and attended his sermon on metalshaping. I'm now a disciple.

I'm building a replica of a Morgan 3 wheel car. see:
www.jzrusa2.blogspot.com
at some point I'd like to replace the fiberglass with alum. as I enjoy all types of metal work.

Fred, welcome and thanks for the introduction. Hope you enjoy the site and find it helpful. Thanks for joining us. Sounds like you have an interesting project with the Morgan 3 wheeler. If you get to the Mississippi Gulf Coast look me up, I give you a quick tour of my shop.

thanks for the welcome. I've messed a bit with sheet metal shaping as shown on the attachment but I had problems with it. I hope to learn some tricks here. The pic is the end panel of a water tank for one of my steam engines.
