Had some difficulty with distortion while doing the 1" wide flanges at the front, but got there in the end.  |

Sometimes hard tasks are quick and other times the easy ones take for ever. As mentioned earlier, I want a rolled front cover panel but with the top section dropped, to follow the shape of the rad grill. Sounds easy and in a way it was, just took ages to map the shape out on the flat sheet of aluminium, cut it out then bend to shape. I haven't even finished the infill panel but I've had enough for today.

Looks really nice though Dave. Id've rolled it first then spent ages trimming it away bit by bit cos I wouldn't be able to map it out in advance. Are you riveting it to the side pieces or do they all need to be removable separately?

Thanks.
Will be riveted together. If I get it right it should possible to lift the side covers over the dampers (cut outs in the sides) and steering arm spindle, then just remove it all forwards.

Cheers.
Infill section done and managed to get it to fit, first time. Fast becoming a fan of sheet aluminium, as it's so much easier to bend, stretch and shrink.
Temporarily held in place by 4 pop rivets.

Like an artist working his canvas, it's great to see the picture forming. Top work Dave.
