I love it when loovers come out even, clean, right side up, correct edge forward, and in straight lines.

Beautiful work Kent!
Well the owner sent me a "concept photo" complete with cardboard cutout... The piece of cardboard against the hood side will be chrome plated, the next will be a contrasting color to the car, and topped off with the Impala fender trim..

Quite the "artsy hoode" expression, by contrast to '37 original hood sides, above. ....

Hood side number two completed yesterday. The flanges of the tapered pan get some stretch treatment in the kick Erco to match the profile of the hood side..
For the questions about the cutting device, it is a long nose pneumatic cut off tool from Blue Point. For keeping the cut nice and perpendicular, and disc width, the long nose works better (for me anyhow) by having the long nose as a visual guide to keep it parallel to our centerline. I don't think I would have seen as good of results using the standard cut off tool. Each slot has stop drill holes at the end, to help remove any cracking issue and also to better determine end of cut. E helped out with the punching efforts...… Panel gets tacked in and welded with the TIG...

They look really good – quite art deco-esque.
