Aluminium arches / nosecone!
Simon - 14/5/02 at 04:05 PM

Hi All

Anyone know where I can get hold of aluminium (trailer/motorcycle?) wheel arches as I intend to panel whole car (including arches, scuttle and nosecone) in ally.

I have access to welder which (apparantly) is good for welding aluminium, so thought that if I could cut the compound curves from the wheel arches and weld them to bent sheet, it would save a lot of beating!!

As for the nosecone, the intention is to fabricate various parts and weld together.

Has anyone already tried this, and did they have much success?

Thanks

Simon
