No fair
Ray,
From the looks of the body you are using an english wheel to form the panels, correct? How are you doing the bead body lines? All your pictures are from the same angles - so we never get to see what equipment you are using in the back ground. Nice job. John |

Yes i use a english wheel ................but beat the crap out of them first on a shot bag to get some shape. I have a bead roller with a die for my style lines. Some i weld on after the fact and some get done with the panel. I will let some of the background show in my next updated pix. It aint nuthi'n fancy. Ray

That would be my question, too. I'm new to this, and any pic's/advise is appreciated. I've seen bodies done without "sight lines" but they don't look nearly as good as yours.
I am impressed. |

Hello again, Here is a buck i made just for the upper part of the two wheel wells. They are way rounder then the other lines.The lower end of them start to go flat like the other style line so they are formed later when i connect them all together. This buck is screwed to the table and can be flipped for left and right sides. It's 5/8 065 tube with some 1/4 round tacked to the top for the gentle taper. It's ready to come off and be trimmed. Oh, and some shop pix. Ray

So how do you.
Thanks for the reply.
My question is, how are these areas done, seeing that the body curves here? Last edited by jhnarial; 04-16-2011 at 05:11 PM. |

The lower one was done in three pieces. I have a die for the bead roller that does half the style line. Then hammer form the rest of the shape. The bottom edge is heated and rolled under. The upper one is two pieces. The part that comes down the edge and then stops half way into the horizontal style line.I then made the lower style line and sectioned it up into the other right in the crown of the style line. I don't know if that makes sense or if it's the right way.............but it's how i did it. Ray

I see it now.
Thanks for the illustration. I now understand how .
When you break up the style line as you did, it makes more sense to me. I had assumed it was all one piece. |
