Size:  72.8 KBHere are some photos of the project i'm currently working on. I decided it was time to wheel some bigger panels. So I started with a jaguar XKE e-type nose section from 1,5 mm aluminium.
All wheeled up, did a few shrinks on the stumps on the bulge edge. Besides that all done on the e-wheel.

Also made a louvre press for the 28 louvres in the hood/bonnet. It needs some more tweaking. Now its way to sharp and on the first press i punched one big slot.... after some more adjusting and grinding it went better.

Slow progress, but i like the zen state when you get in the flow, and time passes by so quickly.....
Cheers
