Building a Special Body

[Charles P]

Thanks, yes normal Brookland's screens are rather draughty, after a full days motoring you can feel rather worn from the constant pounding of the wind, I found the Nippy or Chummy's with their full screen's a lot easier on a long journey than the special was. This time I wanted to make something which was not only aesthetically pleasing, but also afforded a little more protection without going to the extent of a full screen.

Simon, the Brass channel came from Vintage supplies, rather hard to find anything appropriate here, Colin gets his for the Alfa's from Australia. I am in your neck of the woods again this week so may pop in to see your latest progress with the wings, would be nice to see a post here at some point soon, I am sure there are a few people who would like an update especially since your Blog has gone off line.

Making a proper screen for my Ulster made it a much nicer road car, especially in winter. Yes, it's heavy but then again so am I.

Bending the brass channel as you have done is a delicate, time consuming process if it's to look good. As ever Ian, you appear to have nailed it.
