Default Second Door Pillar

I've got the second door pillar done. That means I have the datum points for the whole car.

I tried different techniques to to this one, using the bead roller and tipping dies instead of hammering over formers. It produced better results but time wise there was no time saved.





It's not perfect as there is the odd ripple. This car will need some 'Mud' here and there but hopefully nothing thicker than a light skim.

A lot of this is Gas welded and I still seem to be warping the metal more than I'd like, so my new English wheel is already earning it's keep flattening things back out. It also seems I spends ages on the shrinker / stretcher undoing work I'd just done.
