Default 54 jag front end rebuild

I'm in the middle of reworking the sheet metal on the 54 xk120. I've got the left side complete enough to use it for building a buck to shape the right side. Here are a few pictures of my buck building process so far, and I'll try to add more as I go. IMG_5958.jpg

Default Some more buck progress

I made it a bit further on the buck for the jag today. After I got the main rib fit in place I started taking the profiles layed out on the left fender with poster board and a profile gauge. Then one at a time I cut the ribs out of ply then fit and screwed them in place. This process has shown how different the two fenders were originally. I will be doing my best to make them symmetrical. Tomorrow I'll start shaping!IMG_5970.jpg

Default Buck building

Easy to follow buck building example. I especially like how you set the ride height by extending the center rib to the floor.
Thanks for sharing this build.
