I had a very skilled amateur panel beater lined up to build the body but unfortunately he is now too frail to do it. I would like to try to learn some of the skills to enable me to build a simple racing car body in aluminium. I am presently mocking it up using wire and card before committing to metal. If you could see my attempts then you would understand why I need advise.
Thanks,
Steve
Hi Steve - I have a friend who is a master fabricator and currently building an Austin 7 Special for himself. I post things about it periodically on here. Here is the link to the thread.
