Jimmy, that turned out very nice indeed. Good traditional coachbuilding!.
I was wondering if you included the time it took you to take the patterns, cut out and make your tooling in that time. 105 hours does not seem out of the way for the job. David

that is simply a work of art ..
i have to wonder at 100 hrs to make .. the price to customer would have to be atleast $4000 to make it worth your effort and that would be under valueing your labour here in Australia

Hi Jimmy,
I keep looking at 10/12 and can't decide how you would go about that section, it looks like the same rad 1/2 way down and then the panel curves inwards the rad also reduces, before the swag at the bottom. Ermine Tide has also a similar panel but I still unsure how that would be made. Thanks

So Jimmy this is basically the same section you made for your green truck. How long did it take you to do that one and what did you do differently this time around. Love your work and your work ethic.

Tom panel 10 & 12 did take more time than some of the others. If you were to take a panel and form it to a cone shape. A larger radius at the top and smaller at bottom. It would look like the corner but not with the bulge of the corner. So if you hammer where you want the panel to come out at you, you will get that shape. Unform the panel and hammer with a low crown die and then form it back to the cone shape. This will give you a better finish than not unforming the panel and using a high crown die. You will have to do this several times to get the shape. I hope that made sents. I turned the flange on a Erco flanger. The bottom body line I put in by hammering in a shot bag. And smoothing with hammer and dolly.
Mike The other truck panel I made parts 1-2-3 were all in one . Why it was in aluminum much easier to work with.
