Nice work, young man. This project is going to turn out very well! You are on the right track, stay true to your own thoughts.

Default here's an update on the Jag

I've been working this week on shaping and fitting the pieces of this fender. I patterned off of the left side and did all of my heavy shaping with the power hammer, then smoothed things out with the air planisher. IMG_6061.jpg

Hi Kyle,

Thanks for taking the time to share, I catch all your work on IS too.

Jags are my favorite classic, E-types especially, so it's great to see you doing european classics as well as Hotrods, you must show your MR2, that's spot on mate.

I noticed on the Jag wing you welded diagonally across the small reverse, was there a reason why it couldn't been done the shortest distance, personally I find metal finishing in reverses difficult, so I chose the shortest route.

PS. Get your mate Mike Wagner to join here, another metal magician.

Happy to share! Thank you! As for welding through the reverse, honestly I was just trying something different to see if it would help to not get a sharp high or low spot at the weld. It did seam to work, but I'm not sure if it was because of the angle through the reverse or just because I was careful to get the fit as good as I could before welding.

Hi Kyle,
Did you only use the power hammer for shaping the fender?, just wondering if the reverse develops the same way as wheeling does.

I did shape it on the hammer. The shape goes in with a little less stress built up in it, and it will tend to accept being formed better ie won't just spring back.
