Hey B - I have a question for you! If you build the body and weld it all up on the buck - how do you get the buck out from the inside?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Joking.
It's going to be awesome - and you already know what I think of your skills.
XOXO

I love seeing the steps. Could you show more how you made the flanges and on the side panel how you made the protrusion for the side?

Thanks, I will post pics of the process on the next few panels

I'm with you on shrinking the front 90* degree leg on the cowl; then for the second horizontal leg, did you run it through a turning die in a bead roller then stretch it, or hammer form over an anvil then stretch it back out?? I'm guessing the windshield flange used the same process?
3003 aluminum? What gauge?
Thanks for the lessons in sheet metal mastery! Can't wait to see more!

It is .063 3003 H14 aluminum, I used our Lazze Beadroller to turn the flanges both directions in collaboration with the Eckold Kraftformer to shrink and stretch them into shape. I have 6 hours in both pieces as you see them in the pictures.
Thanks for following!
