Looking good. i like this statement..... the difference between paper and reality.
Paper is cheap, reality sucks.... till you win! Keep up the good work.

Ah, cold working aluminum over the timber frame .... you have the clamps, wood, and hammers ready to replace the paperworks.
On-off-on-off-on .... repeat with hammering and clamping. Nice progress, Jaro. Solid process.

Thanks guys.
The paper is ok, it will show you the shape you need. In this case, I had to reconsider the procedure. There was still a slight bend that distorted the whole shape. I had to cut and shape the sheet according to the shape of the wood and only then bend it. I bent the first bend on a bead roller and finished the rest with a mallet over the wood. I had to add welding strips to the wood. After the last welds, it will no longer be possible to dismantle the sheeting. And the wood should not burn. They told me, wood fire doesn't do well. I don't understand that again. I'm just only beating the plate. I had to attach a pad to the left side. The carpenter sanded it more than necessary.

Inside of the dashboard. So small shape but a lot of work in many angles. It's in place. Now I have to fix the outer plate that I thought was the right shape. He will need to adjust.

I had to adjust the scissors. I sanded them so that one part would fit under a slightly raised plate. I can cut directly on the body without removing the plate.
I finally measured the correct dimensions and could bend the edges in front. I used a plastic part and a hammer.

That all turned into a very nice cowl, Jaro. Great detail. Tight fits. Gold Star. (Hardwood only scorches under panel welding - does not really "burn." - But still, best not to linger when welding. )

Thank you Kent. For places where it will be welded, I added pads to the wood. The welder said that it does not matter when the wood burns, but the problem is when the wood spits into the metal.. Washers at the weld should prevent this.
Other connections will be screwed with stainless steel screws. They wanted me to put brass screws in there .... I negotiated stainless steel screws with them less worries and no future corrosion. I was supposed to do this front part at this time. I have to fix it at the top now. But little. On the first complete body still in aluminum .... I'm doing quite well without major complications. Those big panels ... aluminum floats by itself. You feel like you still have to shape and suddenly this shape a lot. Those large panels fit me exactly to the shape. I was really scared of that at the beginning. Fortunately, I tried it on the hood for Gullwing and I already knew what to expect.

Thank you Carl. My good tools include slats - bed springs. Great for holding the plate. I finished the bends around the door radius and screwed on. The sheet metal adheres to the wood everywhere and is not corrugated.
