New Member from Colorado.
Armed with a few tools and a shot bag I'm suffering delusions of hand-formed car parts. I'm going to be lurking mostly and exploring the limits of the search function. Greetings folks.

Welcome to the site Rich. Allow the delusions to continue. There are many of these folks that will continue to feed them.

Welcome to the forum Rich. You can do a lot with the tools you have.

An early project will involve replacing what is missing from both fenders here. I'm sure I'll wind up revisiting the project a few years from now when my skills have improved. It's only metal, you can always cut it off.

I have always liked COE's. What chassis is that sitting on?
Start your project and ask questions. You will get the help you need here. Get Davids DVD on how to use hand tools. That would be a good start. Jere

In this picture it's on a Toronado front clip, it was someone's stalled project. I thought about keeping it and setting it up for a really low deck flatbed but the 455 took up too much of the cabin space, and a FWD car hauler could have problems in the mountains. It will be going on a Chevy motorhome chassis with the motor mounted mostly behind the cab.
In the past with my car/bike projects I've escaped significant sheet metal work, but this one is forcing me into new territory.
