Al W. (or Tom or Dave),

I'm kinda surprised/puzzled/curious aftter reading your last post. My understanding has always been that aluminum bodied cars were hand beaten in panels because the aluminum was so springy that it didn't respond well to die forming. Maybe if you only press it a little? Or does the die take the place of the English wheel and remove the hammer marks?

Thanks,

Lowell
