Size:  76.1 KBI am new to the site.
I am here because of this car.
I made the roof buck in ply but found it limiting to complete the job with out modifying the buck.
I started goggling and here I am.
Great site with tons of skill.

I want to make the rear/front bucks in wire so I can fit it to the car.

I have been asked to put something up ,this was started 8 weeks ago.
I havnt made full panels before just sections but I am learning fast.

This became limiting when the flanges for the door seals had to go in.
I had to modify the roof trusses this is when I realized the advantage if wire form bucks.

The flanges I folded then used the shrinker /stretcher.
They are welded in.

I put a section of inner tube around the top wheel and rolled the profile.
I purchased x6 new 3" and 1" wheels early in the job as my 3 wheels where leaving marks due to excessive crown.

Inner skins on the roof wheeled out.
I used 3m panel bond to adhere inners to outer pillars and the inner lining.
I dont know if glue is a no no on this site but it on this job panel bond is magic.

When it was assembled I foam cored the roof and pillars.

The doors have been a mission.
I have not kept count on the hours because it might scare me .

the upper inner roof panel I tried to simulate was is their but not to exacting detail.

I then made the roof skin.

I have made the pillar skins but have not got pic.

I have the other door to do but I think I will make the rear wire form buck first as I need a break before I start the second one.
Im glad its a 2 door.

I will keep posting over time.

I have made a long profile gauge out of 4 gauges.

Wire bucks
I have looked at a lot of pics and get a good idea how to go about it.
I am thinking 5 or 6 mm wire should be enough.
Some members are using heavier.

Any advice is welcome.

Jim

Jim, thanks for posting the pictures of your GT-40 project. Looks like you are making good progress on the body. What aluminum alloy are you using, 5005?
