Thanks, Ritchie!
The wheel arches are the repaired originals from what was left of the Ruby saloon body.
The sides have a very slight double curvature, but the vertical element of the curve is confined to the lower sides and is divided by the wheel arch, so there's enough give to achieve it using flat sheets of ply and aluminium.
Yes, the well is for the spare wheel, but is not long enough - hence the cut-outs in the doors. This was, however, a feature of the original AVK van.
