what a great welcome - cheers !

A few pics of the project to date ( 12 months in, although not much progress during the last 3, due to the need to shape sheet for the rear end and no previous experience of ... !)

Last shot shows seat pan and rear light plate, both with flanges cleco'd on, with a temporary intermediate support which has provided the correct separation distance and elevational relationship of the two pieces. Upper/lower skins will be riveted.

I bought a shrinker/strecher with an 8" throat (hand operated) and fabricated a foot operated pedestal for it - so chuffed with the ability to pull metal into shape. First use were the seat flanges, which fit really snug for first attempt and has nurtured the desire to work with metal even further.

Now I need to skin, top and bottom.... which is why I'm here ...thinking of buying a small English Wheel ...
