Just for fun, I pounded on some sheet metal today... I'll take some pics in a bit. It's nothing amazing, just a little piece to replace the formerly bond-o'd over corner piece under my left taillight. This one is just a rough expirament, but now I want to learn how to do it right.
Does anyone know of some good websites that show the tools and some methods for doing this kind of stuff? Google seems to be completely overrun with 'directory' sites, ack. I found a few books I'm planning on buying. Anyone have more recommendations?
