Damn. Havent been on the site for a while and I missed this. I did this class about 3-4 years ago and it was the best day ever and would have loved to do it again blisters and all and meet you guys. Looks likeClive has a couple of standard items to start you off on. Made the same things back then. I bet he pulled the same trick with the dish saying you guys had domed the wrong side of the sheet metal and told you to knock it back and reverse the dome to show how forgiving the metal is. Same cycle guard type thingy to incorporate compound curves.
Gave me the confidence to have a go at createing all these panels using wood forms. The corner piece is only hammer finished as i dont have an E wheel. Craig you may recognise it from OR

So Craig is it the class that you got the motivation to get back into the Dodge or is it that work has eazed up at AAP>
