Pauls track roadster
One project brought to MM/11 was doors for the track roadster in this post.
Plywood pattern and templates were made off of the body. The plan was to leave a 3/4 in flange front and rear and enough metal to fold an 1 1/4 in bottom flange and some turned up and lipped for an inner structure. the front and rear are angles with a similar lip for an inner panel. Welding is accetylene tacks in the jambs with seam sealer between. Hinges are '50 Ford trunk hinges for a old timey look. Some pictures as well as the fish made by my daughter Cindi at MM/11. Paul

Pauls track roadster
Progress on the roadster has been mostly non metal shaping, however there were some trim bubbles around shock linkage and steering shaft.
Also I finally finished the nose with paint so that I can assemble the radiator and put water in engine. It feels to see a finished panel after years. Paul
