Howdy !
Thanks for the kind words about the 356G ! I just hope to keep making progress so it gets finished.
I do have an english wheel and a planishing hammer - plus a bunch of basic hammers, dollies, slappers and other metalworking hand tools. The panels that I need to make have very little crown in them - so it shouldn't be much of a challenge - which is a good thing because I haven't done much of this except in a race car fab 2 week class. But I have a bunch of pros around that can step in and fix whatever I mess up or can't do.
Yes, the car is all steel at this time. Not sure I'll do the Trunk and Hood in steel - but maybe. I have 6 rolls of pre-preg carbon fiber in the deep freeze and a hot bonder in the shop for that part of the project - so we'll see when I get there if I want to do more work taking splashes off the exisiting parts and then building up the molds for the finished parts.
Hope'd to see the transmission mount get machined today - but I've again been bumped by higher paying jobs... little fish - big pond.
