Default Newb from MN

I'm Russell, I'm from Moose Lake, MN. I'm new to metal shaping, but have done extensive work with round tube (think roll cages and tube chassis'). I picked up a 30 Model A I want to build into a nice hot rod daily driver. Of course it needs some metal work to get the body straight so I've been researching metal shaping for the past few weeks.
Spent about an hour today getting overloaded with info from Cas Nawrocky (sp??) since he lives about 10 minutes from me. It made me really understand how VERY beginner I am in this. Need to absorb all the info and tips/tricks I can while banging steel in my shop learning how and why metal moves the way it does. Looking forward to building my shop equipment and getting after it.

Thanks
Russell

Spending ANY time with Cass will make most EVERYONE realize how little they know.
