New to site
Hi i'm Paul from Gloucester England.
Whilst looking at Kerry Pinkerton's youtube video of the "hot dog" pullmax die i found mention of this site so i've just joined the forum after trying to find some info on making reverse curves. My current project is a small repair to the leading edge of a Skoda 440 bonnet and the reverse curve is driving me mad!!!!!!!!! So i'm hoping to find some ideas to solve my problems. My last restoration was a Singer Vogue estate, Quite a rare car only 11 left on uk roads apparently. I have a serious tool addiction...first started buying tools when i was 10,and have been repairing/restoring cars since i was about 16 (i'm34 now)

Welcome Paul,
Singer Vogue Estate hey? I assume you are talking about the pretty twin headlight model with the curved fins at the back, not the re-badged Hillman Hunter? When I was a kid there was one on my paper round, dissolving in someones drive. I tried many times to get him to part with it but it would have been no better off dissolving in my parents drive... You'll find all the help you'll ever need here  Good luck with the reverse curves. I feel the pain, I'm making wheel arch repairs right now

Hi Paul, welcome to the site from another brit. If you look at my threads (the one on the MG I think) I show a little on reverse curves.
