Good exercise Dave. So, here's my first go at metal shaping and forming. Don't laugh, I'm very fragile! Just kidding. No, not gonna win any awards, but I'm very pleased with the look so far. I need my shrinker to show up since I'm now figuring out why I need it!
Now.... Hopefully I can get the other side symmetrical! The other panels will require more wheeling I'm sure. Figuring out how to do a curve one way then get the other section to curve the other way (like the part below the headlight bucket) beat me up, and so I had no choice but to cut and splice.
Unfortunately, well, maybe fortunately, the buck is getting destroyed as I form on it so I'm thinking this is going to be the only replica I make which is fine by me. Even something more to be proud of!
Cheers
Dave
