Hi Guys,
For the last few years I've been playing around with metal forming and have had some success and a lot of fun learning.
Just for the heck of it I decided to see how difficult it really is to fabricate a cobra body from scratch. Of course the answer is it's even harder than I thought.
Anyway. I made a pattern of the left front fender of my E-M out of card board and used it to make a wooden buck.
Here a few pictures of what I was able to accomplish.

The result was not very good as far as a finished product is concerned, but I learned a lot and had fun doing it.
Now that I'm retired I'm going to be doing more metal working and I might try a few more experiments.
If I have enough money down the road I've toyed with the idea of buying a FFR kit and using the body as my buck to fabricate an aluminum body.
The chance of this happen is remote but it's fun to day dream.
Later,
Roger
