marking out for the bonnet opening, i make a paper template and tape that to the bonnet frame, place the scuttle panel on the car, and tape the template to the panel. draw a line with a marker pen, remove the template then lay masking tape on the sharp edge of the marker line. then using a gaping tool made from an old hacksaw blade, the two points on the blade are 5mm apart, this will be the gap between the bonnet and the car body. i scribe marks in the panel, then go over the scribe marks with a marker pen. this gives me an outline to work too.

Fantastic work Neil!
I use scratch-gauges frequently, but I never thought of using a hacksaw blade – great idea! Cheers Charlie

Looking good Neil
Is this a 996 you are working on ? Watercooled ? Nice to see the transition from stretched to formed. Real metal shaping ! Still a great thread to follow JL

continuing with the bonnet opening...
made some dies for my reciprocating machine, after pre-stretching the centre part i rad it through the dies but stopped at the corners, i will do these by hand the old fashioned way. hammer and dolly lol as you can see i left a little extra material in the corner so i can keep stretching that more than the part i need. cleaned up pretty well so far a quick flick over with the scotch pad roloc wheel and it'll be fine. on to the otherside lol

A jiggly machine looks like the way to go. Looks great, Neil.
