You need to make the body tubes after you make the body to make sure they are in the right place. The body tubes are actually the most difficult part of making a car because they move when you are trying to mount the body. I will get the CAD file of the body and see if we can mill out a 1/8 buck for you. Making a body by hand will be a real trick out of sheet metal. True to scale would be only 0.006 or 0.007 thick. Not too much to work with there.

Unfortunately, we are really tied up right now with a pretty cool Hot Rod project that taking up all my spare time. Congrats on a super cool project. We have you in mind!

All you'll need is a 1/8 scale English Wheel and planishing hammer!
