    great work, that's for sure, always thought a '32 grille was a complex shape and your work
    confirms it.
    now, can you make me one too

    Nice work, young man! It's much more satisfying to make something from scratch than just plunking down dollars for a repop. Keep up the good work and attitude.

    Tremendous!:) Thats all I can say. I am planning to duplicate my 32 Aussie Tub in Aluminum, and I was thinking about things like the Fenders and the Rad Shell, wondering how would I approach it. I must say you had a great plan, and did a great job in execution.

    Now I cant wait to get my material and order my english wheel to get started!

    Super job!
     
  23. I've never had any formal training with metal working tools such as shrinker -stretchers and bead rollers but have used both quiet a bit over the years,,I've played with the cheap harbor freight English wheels.

    I am in awe of your talent,,If I needed a shell I would have to buy one. HRP
     
  24. Great work and results!
    Look forward to your build thread.
