Default Finally...back to metalshaping

It seems like it's been forever since I worked on the car. Between my hand surgery, the migration to the net site, and building the little shrinker, there just wasn't any extra time.

Today though, I took time out from tool building and actually did some metalshaping.

It took the better part of the day to put these three panels in place. I'm going to wait and do the bottom portion after I get it mounted and in place so I can be sure it matches the other side.



Next I'll grind and file these welds and do what metal bumping is necessary. The next panels are going to be the outside of the fender around the wheel opening. They look pretty close to the patterns so hopefully most the work will be tuning and welding.

I've got to start thinking about fender support and mounting structure.
