Default Ladies restoration singer roadster

Enjoying sheet metal challenges....

Making do without those wonderful looking English wheels - stretch shrink machines..

It took us over a dozen door skins but it felt great to achieve.

After reading many helpful pages on your site.

Our roadster doors I think. Are called reverse compound curve.

What worked for us & we learned was.

When rolling curve over top was against the grain.

Dull side of aluminium to stretch..

We annealed with better results with dove soap...candle soot took much longer.

Our roadster came with fence colorbond running boards..

So no templates..

We made a radius brake for curve

The running boards increase in curve when attached to front guard..

So we made a timber form to curve metal.

Any help always welcome please..

Green singer is what we are trying to achieve
