Default experienced fabricator trying to pick up metal shaping

Hey guys, James checking in. I'm 26 and have been an aircraft sheetmetal fabricator for the last 7 years. I've been an automotive enthusiast since I was a young buck working in my grandfather's automotive shop during the summers. I do a lot of automotive chassis and roll cage fabrication in my down time. Now I'm looking to expand my skills as a fabricator and add metal shaping to my tool box.

Been working on collecting a few tools to get started heavy into shaping.


Just a quick preview of the work I'm doing on my 78 Ford Fairmont. Replaced the floor pan, built rear wheel tubs, through floor subframe connectors, built rear seat floor from scratch, door still structure is 1x4 box tubing, and rear seat cross brace.



I'm booing to learn how to make some wide body rear 1/4 panel's for this car in order to fit an 18" wide tire.
