Indy Car Pedal Car
Hello everyone! I figured I would follow up my introduction with some pictures about my first metal shaping project. I am nearly done building an aluminum bodied pedal car modeled off of a 1950s era Indy Car! It has been a ton of fun and a lot of hard lessons learned. I never thought I would get this far and I owe a TON of my progress to metal shapers and fabricators on Instagram and other channels. I am always amazed at how willing people are to help. As I grow more and more interested in bigger projects I went hunting for a source of info and community and was told about Allmetalshaping!

Here is how it sits now. There is still lots to do. I would like to wire edge around the cockpit and foot opening. I've been practicing wire edging scraps and it is definitely not the easiest thing. I am also debating polishing the body instead of paint. My concern with polish is it will show a lot of defects. On the other hand, I've spent a LOT of time on it and it would be cool for it to be obviously hand made.
