Learn that building from Pics is not as accurate as building from blueprint.

Made the roof today.

Yes I know they are too long. I will do the cutting and trimming later.

Made the hood too!

side angle shot.

dont worry about all the rough edges and improper fit, they will be sorted out later

Made new left and right window panels too. the old ones are short of 4mm.

Not sure if I should make open-able doors? The curves are hard to cut. Most probably
need to laser cut, what are your opinions?

Nice work. Smile

U made a jig to bend the roof and hood?
Nice bend job!

Nice bend job!

nah its done by machine. 1mm thick aluminum is bendable but 2mm aluminum requires machine to do the job. Very Happy

I see I see... Was about to ask u post photos of the jig... Very Happy

Thought you carved a male and a female mold and clamp the aluminium between the molds to form the parts... What a Face

by wyetuck88 Mon 11 Jun 2012 - 23:08

Rig is not ready la still need to make a new chassis. Very Happy

. need to make sure everything is finished properly then weld together then its counted as complete.

you will need a sheet metal brake press. you can DIY by using L shape brackets and a mini hydraulic jack.
