• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance.

  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Hey gang,
I'm a long time auto tech that's just starting to dabble in metal fab and restoration work. I'm restoring a classic car and started researching metal shaping and found this group. Hope to learn a ton from the vast experience pool here, and if anyone has automotive questions, I'd be glad to help!
 
Hi Toyguru
Welcome. Lots of different skills with people here. What kind of car are you working on?
John
 
My Dad had a Corair. Beautiful car in my opinion. Car restoration is fun. Welcome. Assuming you have an English wheel? Wish I had space for one!

They do have nice lines. I don't have an English wheel unfortunately, someday....
I purchased a video from Dave Gardiner that shows lots of techniques for shaping metal without big pricey machines, as I'm in short supply of space and hobby money lol
 
Just before I got my license, my dad sold our Corvair - it looked almost as sporty as a Corvette, it had mags on it and went like snot! It was my brother's car, but it had some electrical problems and my dad was tired of it.

To my sorrow, 3 months later it was stolen and sent over the Hamilton escarpment.
