I should note here that the poll that Russ crafted for this thread cleverly includes mostly nothing about the technical question he asked. For...
Wow. This is an amazing thread. First Russ V. asks a perfectly reasonable question and despite conflicting suggestions, he answers his own...
Wow! Thank you all. This would be at the top of the list for 'stickies of the century'. The pics and info here blows my mind. Thank you, thank...

Great work. Mind sharing what you used to hammer the hole edges? Hand held or power? Head shape? Best -- Gary
Just a guess here, but I sort of doubt Ken ever worried about 'traditional' in his work. OTOH, he's in the very elite among hot rod builders out...
