Hello from Topping, Virginia. I've been in body work all of my life. Dad was a mechanic. I now own a restoration/custom shop. I've been cutting them up and welding the back for a long time. I am currently building a V8 powered MGB GT. I have got plans to build an open wheel coupe. I've got the frame, drive train, and body. Now all I need is the time. I love the pics, that you guys have been posting.
your story sounds just like mine. my dad owned, worked or managed body shops all his life. i think i knew how to fix dents before i was out of elementary school! ditto on the time to work on your own projects. been so busy on other people's stuff & mine are just collecting dust right now
