Love watching this develop Dave. So, please refresh my memory, are you going fiberglass, aluminum or steel for the body panels? Will you be forming them yourself, or do you have a guy for that?

Thanks, Mark! I’m going through all of this to make the body out of 20ga or 22ga steel. I didn’t want to use aluminum since I’m not familiar with it, and the expense. And yes, I’ll be doing all the forming myself. I know! I can’t wait to watch this train slowly derail too!
    I’m working my way around the car sanding and blending curves. The plan over the weekend is to start forming the nose as one solid piece. That’s called a hammer buck since I’ll actually be hammering the metal on that piece to form the nose. I’ll have to fall back on all my artistic experience sculpting the curves, etc. Fortunately before becoming a pilot, I wanted to be a car designer, so all my high school classes were art and design related. I dun just knew’d that edjumacashun would come in handy!  Cheers Dave
