Default Greetings from Upton

Hi all-

I stumbled upon this site while doing searches to try to find a local vocational school to learn metal shaping. I have a 1963 Rambler that I would like to fix up but it's a rust bucket and sheet metal is very hard to find. I tried taking a auto body class but all that did was teach me how to mix bondo and and pull out dents. I would like to learn the skill and finesse that would allow me to reconstruct the panels. I have many more auto projects I would like to complete in the future. I purchased a DVD from the Metalshapingzone.com and have watched briefly. I love to watch caftsmen do their trade and want to emulate them.
I'll be around.

Thanks

Andy

Hello Andy thanks for buying my DVD. I hope you find it informative and helpful once you have had the chance to watch it properly.

IS there a section in the DVD about the basic tools you should have?
