Default Newbie restoring an old Allard

I've been restoring an old 1950 Allard for the past couple of years and am now at the stage where I need to add some bodywork. It's a "special" so I have nothing really to go on except a metal frame I've shaped to how I want to roof to look.
I have a very large Edwards english wheel, bead roller and folder so hopefully enough tools, just need to learn how to use them now.
I've been playing with the wheel, and have been on a 2 day course so know roughly what I'm doing, but am experiencing problems that I'm sure you guys will be able to help me with.
I doubt I'll be able to contribute much to help others just yet, but more than happy to try.

Welcome to the forum Ben, you've found the best one. Having an Edwards English Wheel is a great start.
