Well the next job was to flange the hatch to match the roof flange in one plane. The hatch had to be shaped (cut) in the opposite direction from the original panel to make it match up. Now I just need to match up the roof and the hatch in the other plane which you can see from the last picture requires a bit of design/tin work to make a rear spoiler. Andy

I made up the outer part of the spoiler out of 1mm steel. I want to avoid welding on the outer section so I flange both sides and then using the shrinker/spoon to form the curve. I still need to make the inner part but first I will need to position/lock the hatch into position. The spoiler can then be positioned and welded onto the hatch section. Andy

Well spoiler is in the bin, so new design to come.

If interested a few pictures of the hatch.

Not happy with the spoiler mate?
A really imaginative build. Enjoying following it's progress.
