That’s great info, Rick! Yesterday was a practice day figuring out the shrinker abs stretcher. There’s a site I downloaded about 1000 photos of the 507 in raw form being restored. It’s been invaluable for me and showing most of all you described, Rick:

https://www.martini-racing.com/bmw-507/

Scrolling through these shows just about every piece, angle, sub structure, etc. invaluable info for me. This along with a few other sites I’ve bookmarked the last few years researching this project, really give me direction on where and what to bend. Right now, it’s just figuring out exactly how to bend it!

I’m headed out on a trip, so more progress next week!

Cheers
Dave

PS: and good advice, Jaroslav. The amount I’ve spent in metal forming tools satisfy the need for presents under the tree this year!
