I finished the sheet metal work on this speedster some time ago. The picture of the finished car was taken at our vintage drag race several weeks ago.
I thought it came out really nice.
The next one I build will be a PACO in every detail.

Holy Clecos, Batman! This guy looks like he knows what he's doing! Those little things really are a terrific help but without the special pliers, they're almost worthless.

That body is a work of art. Great job Donald!

Wish I lived a little closer to you. Your shop looks like my kind of shop!

Very impressive

Don,

Great job! I'm sure you will figure out how to resize the photos so they can be posted also. And you are correct -- if it is a beautiful day -- being outside is a good thing to do. You can practice resizing and posting photos when the weather is bad outside.

Some recent posting on resizing the photos:

http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/257047/299994.html

http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/257047/315685.html

http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/257047/276206.html

If you don’t have any luck with one of those or if the weather remains really nice – feel free to send me a couple of the photos and I will resize them and send them back and/or post them if you want me to. If you click on my name at the beginning of this posting my e-mail address is the third line down. To my knowledge you cannot send the photos via a PM.

I’m closing down for the night, but I’ll check in the morning. Please put “Model T” in the subject – it will be read much sooner.

Again beautiful work on your body!

Respectfully submitted,

Hap l9l5 cut off

Great looking project there, Donald :-)
Aaron - there are lots of videos on metalshaping at youtube. Here's rule #1 for the english wheel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hePmCEjDSu4 (keep an untouched frame around the edges of the material)
