Dad and son from the Netherlands

Cheers,

My name is Frank and I'm working with my son Bram (8y) every Saturday on all kinds of projects but mainly on our replica Cobra and Super Seven. Both engines and upholstery is something we address.

Both cars are made of polyester (plastic fantastic) and we're in the process of learning about metal shaping the old school way. I've followed a basic metal shaping coarse that ended with a very short introduction on the English Wheel.

I'm intrigued by everything regarding panel shaping as it was done in the early days on the old racing Cobra's etc. I've bought a very simple and small English wheel and a planishing hammer to start with small panels.

I've found that there are so many different ways of shaping a panel that I hope to find some on this forum that fits my capabilities. I'm a novice so it'll take a while for me to give something sensible back to the forum :-)

Kind regards,

Frank (and Bram)
