If I were to build this buck again, realizing that I alone would shaping the sheet metal, I would have fewer stations 4-6" spacing would have easily sufficed. But as I said I was building it to friends demands. My friend is retired from Roush as well and has at least 4 entire bodies that I am aware of and P-51 repairs also. So I have a lot of respect for him and his opinions. Unfortunately, he hasn't been able to help, a customer with 3 old.Maseratis and a much larger wallet has got between us.
Style.wise, I like the rib buck as opposed to an eggcrate. Building a second very long bridge to measure for for/aft dimensions, templates and longitudinal stations would be difficult for a 1 man to accomplish.
