Some updates...
now come the bigger panels with moving further to the front :-)
Found out that the bigger panels are more fun, it is just the question how much you dome them!
It takes a long time to do the small ones because of my lack of experience, they all had reverse curvature...I need to do some courses...well, it is the first time I am doing this...

Keep going as you are and you'll be teaching those courses.
Very nice so far.

Hi Axle

I like the design of your project, your panels are turning out very nice. As for the reverse panels.... they are tough.....even the pros have to struggle some times with them.

Keep up the nice work & thanks for sharing with the group!

Steve

Thanks guys, your kind words make me proud. :-)

Here is the top fender panel I did yesterday.
I have shrinked the borders and domed it off-center with the wheel, and added a little reverse at the left border with wheeling it upside down. It turned out quite nice.
