Default Old race car guy

With a shop full of metal working tools and no more race car, tools are getting rusty, thought a little metal shaping would be a good way to spend spend some shop time. Looking to learn how to use a some of these tools the right way. thanks for the help Steve

Default No more race cars?

Once it is in your (racing) blood! Now you will buy and build tools until you have no room left for a car. That's what I have done. Fred26t

Good morning Steve, Fred is right! I thought that I was done with racing and cars, then got hooked on restoring old cars, and have been buying and making tools ever since.

Welcome to the forum. There are a lot of really smart folks here and they will share good information faster than you can learn it. (or at least faster than I can learn it)
