Really interesting post - particularly how you produced the skin in four pieces. I have a DB6 to restore. Quite a bit of corrosion to the steel floor pan and body substructure and damage to the al bodywork.
How much work have you had to undertake on the DB5 body. Any photos would be appreciated.
Chris

Many Thanks for Compliment.
Chris to your Question.
Without seeing Photos is a relative.
Minimum for a Complete Body Restoration is 600 Hours.
Poor Substance easily to the 1000 Hours

How is the aluminum skin attached to the steel structure?
