Shorty body question

<< < (2/2)

rooman:
I use .040 for basically flat panels (5052 as per Bruce's reasoning) and for the cowl I use 3003 in .050 thickness. With my power hammer and English wheel I have found that I can shape the 3003 without having to anneal it. The photo shows the result.  Apart from where the side extensions were added the rest of the cowl is as formed and is simply scuffed with a scotchbrite pad. The extensions were TIG welded with 1100 rod, hammered and sanded. Gas welding is better but the TIG takes less time to set up.
