Restoring my grandfather's 34 Chevy is what got me into metal working. The guys on the Southern Polyurethanes site generously got me through to this point, but I have come to realize that I have never learned the correct way to shape metal (even though I had to make a tone of stuff for this car). I paid to have a local shop to do what you see to the fenders below. I bought David Gardner's DVD, and used his methods to fix my fenders. Now I am hooked! Now I want to make some "clam shell" fenders for one of our old Ford tractors. I look forward to attending some meets as well.

Thanks to Dan Pate for bringing me over to this site.

Man, you're good. I dont know why I didnt just do that. Are you a member over at SPI?

Hi and welcome Eric!:D

Since I haven't figured out how to do pictures the right way yet. Here is another link. I will be painting the front fenders and running boards this spring. After that, I need to learn how to do interior :confused:

Welcome in from the dark to AllMetalShaping Eric. :lol:

If you'll look in the events page, you'll see a thread for the Dutch meet in July. http://allmetalshaping.com/forumdisplay.php?f=6

That's the one that OldGoaly wouldn't tell you about.

There is another meet in Frederic MD called the Gator Meet.

All this is in the events forum.

Regarding posting photos, everything you need to know is in this post:

Hi Strum, I am glad you found the DVD inspiring. We made some tractor fenders here a little while ago...

Is this the sort of thing you have in mind? they were easy enough to make untill it came to the wire edge which was 5mm (1/4") rod. this caused no end of difficulties.

Here is a link to the tread showing a little more and some more photos which may help. http://allmetalshaping.com/showthread.php?t=1468&page=6

Yes David, the DVD helped a lot. Thanks for the link too, that is some really nice work. I attached some pictures of fenders like the ones I would like to make. They are for a Ford 960. I was thinking about contacting Gator to see if they would be a good project to bring to Gatormeet.
