So are these restored original cars or replica's?
The work is beautiful and such a classic car!

Both original 1957 Ace Bristols Larry, currently restoring another 1959 Ace Bristol for a client. I have made some replica ace bodies/skins over years too.

Mark, I believe I see your bucks in one photo. What did you make your bucks from and how did you back them to keep a rigidity to the shape when forming the skin on them? I have a good friend who is a second generation Kiwi panel beater and I have looked at some of his body bucks. His are mostly fiberglass with concrete backing. They work well but obviously weight a ton litterly. Trying to decide what would be the best approach for fabricating some bucks. Your work is quite nice. Regards, AJ
