I am an aluminum monster Mike... For some reason I can control heat better with aluminum then steel.... I've always struggled with the easy stuff in every aspect of my life and flew thru the hard stuff with ease. Go figure... Will see. Got a ways to go. Here's some things I might do to help me with the bending Nd templates of this car. I found these pics on lines.... I may make a wood plug out of the 32. I don't know how much trouble it will be or how much work but I think it may be needed to keep the car straight. Really don't know let

If you have a fiberglass one, you might be able to back fill reinforce it and use that. My guy just did one panel at a time and placed it over the fiberglass to verify the shape.

I used a role of electrical tape and traced the outside for the top and the inner circle for the lower end and walaaaaa....
