Wow, that seemed like a pretty reasonably quick timeframe to get done.
This really is one of the most interesting projects I've seen, and looking forward to seeing the progression of things.

Bwahahaha!!! oK...now that’s some funny stuff right there!

Hopefully this really turns out to be something special, and if not, there’s a contingency plan already in place. Living on ten acres, I have me own burn pile. Things don’t work out, guess where that body buck goes??

Cheers
Dave

Research continues, and I found some more pictures of original 507 bucks. This one was at the unveiling of the Elvis 507 at the BMW museum in Germany. I befriended a guy that forms cowlings for vintage aircraft at my local airport where I have a hangar, and he's willing to help me when I get stuck and want to turn my creation into a wadded up ball of tinfoil.

I've got my supplies to form the buck this month and will do that when I get back. Also bought a windshield gasket along with a blank few data tags that I need. More later this month!

Cheers
Dave

That is beautiful, what an art to form panels on a wooden buck. My neighbor brought over his 2000 Z8 two days ago. I didn't know much about them, but it was a beautiful car and he educated me on the Z8 ties to the 507.

As Tim said, those bucks are definitely artwork themselves, not to mention the resulting panel. Beautiful artworks to me.
And I also agree with Tim about the Z8; beautiful cars that I was really hoping the depreciation bug would have hit and brought them down into the real-world of pricing so the average Joe could afford one, but negative. I remember a new Z8 in the showroom around 2005 when I was shopping for a new 3 series. Stunning, and they've aged extremely well in my opinion.
