Building a Special Body

[Ian Williams]

Ian many thanks for the photos. Great workmanship and the buck is very impressive; a lot of hours must have gone it to that alone. You've achieved a wide return on the scuttle panel which must have taken a lot of stretching on the corners. The Wheeling Machine looks just like the one I have; an Edwards.

I am hoping to build a body similar to the Bill Williams Cambridge body onto a six foot three chassis.

If we can get the old forum post working I explained how each section was formed with photos of the processes, but the panel I think you are referring to required shrinking to form the return flange, all with hammer and dolly.  This is it part way through with the bend being annealed, I probably needed to do this twice in order to get the flange complete.

   

Must admit I have been a bit slack on taking on taking pictures recently but will see if I can rectify that on future posts
