It's so bloody easy isnn't it? NOT! It takes an unbelieveable degree of skill to produce good results.
An old friend of mine in Somerset used to make replica aluminium racing bodies for 3000l Healeys and he made the front wings from a single sheet of
ally! (The factory ones were made in two pieces and joined.)
Cheers, Rorty.

I fully expect to make my nose cone from 20 sheets of ally.
That's 19 to practice on...............

Hi Trev,
I can't think of anything I'd like better.
I'd be like a dog with two tails.
Would this be a weekday or weekend?
Many thanks
