I've been lurking for about six months now but decided it was about time I introduced myself. I'm a long time scratch built car person who is new to metal shaping. I'm several years into scratch building a Ferrari 250 GTO. I plan to post the story for it when I get around to it.

I first got interested in metal shaping when I tripped over a magazine article about Lazze Metal Dreams and decided to take a 3 day class. The outcome of the class is that I was hooked.

I'm in the middle of building an English wheel and I've recently bought several other metal shaping tools/machines. I plan to shape some aluminum for the Ferrari interior.

I'm located in Livermore, CA if there's others in the local area who ever want to see my projects in person. I've learned a lot from this forum already and I look forward to conversing with you all.

Hello Joel. We are happy to have you here. I'm looking forward to you project pictures. Did you mean to say you are hand building a Ferrari 250 GTO? Tell us about this car. Sounds really interesting.

Paul

Welcome, I'm pretty new myself, and originally from Fremont, but now I'm in San Jose. I'm definitely interested to come out to look at your stuff! I'm out that way pretty frequently, so I'll have to stop by sometime soon.
