It's not deer season Greg! But thanks for lookin out

I have never built a buck so I am pretty stoked with how it is taking shape. Just doing what makes sense to me.

I am excited to begin what I know and that is sheetmetal!

I am proud to share with you guys that the Ruptured Duck is now an official proud supporter of the Homes for Our Troops charity!
This means that I have committed to donate 45% of the sale of the completed car to their cause! I am very excited about this opportunity to help severely injured veterans whose sacrifices will never be thanked enough. Check out their website at www.hfotusa.com

Curious, why do you use 3/4 ply instead of 1/2 or even 1/4?

Is it for when your shaping the metal? more meat/wood to bend around?

Just curious, its def fun to watch..,,

Well the thicker plywood is stronger and lest flimsy, doesnt warp as easy over time. The metal wont be bent over the wood, just formed to fit the shape of it. Thanks for following along

Well I was able to get the main body pretty much wrapped up this weekend, finish a little fine tuning and its ready for metal.

Spotted a picture on Instagram of the very first piece of sheet metal started.
