Started on the new front sheet metal. Cut the 1.2mm panel steel and wheeled some shape into it. It's always hard judging the amount of wheeling you need. The rear door edge was swaged initially, then run through the nibbler to straighten and crisp the line up. Used a friends folders to get the bonnet edge turned over and then into the shrinker to get the curve of the bonnet

I have started roughing in the pieces to make up the left front guard. Once I have all the pieces done, I will drag it out of the shed for a viewing at a distance. It took three attempts to get the rear panel done, four attempts at the top section and one for the front.

Thanks Steve.
Fingers crossed that it's going to look how I envision it should.

I got a bit ambitious by trying to make the side panel back to the next station. I couldn't get it to flow around the buck. I admitted defeat and made it with a smaller piece. It took 3 pieces to get a finished one. I'm getting the hang of wheeling and blocking. Next came the rear outer panel. Made some thumbnail dies, but they wouldn't work. Back to the drawing board there. Still had to shrink it heaps for it to pull round. The panels are all starting to tie together.

You have invested lot of power. But a good result.
So I that he doesn't have to download so much, I help myself with a rubber tool. In places where it is possible.

Perspiration visible on that section.
"Might" also choose the break on that outer vertical curve, making the rear as a single vertical panel? .... This only coming from a distant view .... Nice result - with thicker metal. Nice work.
