Sports bodies for a special or replica or travesty (depending on your point of view)
#27
I was involved with this one - he wanted it to look like it had been made in a factory and while he achieved that it did take a lot of time to get there... Doors took as long as the rest of the body, the bonnet was done and re-done and re-done. Some good tricks/lessons such as not folding the skin over the frame but using thicker material, file the radius, rely on filler. Very cheap paint as well but its standing up well. Being stored in the warm and dry helps of course. Compared with mine very heavy, but its robust and "all of a piece".

Lots of what he does with a bandsaw could have been done with a belt sander, or settle for something with less shape.
