Fantastic work, did the outer hood skin need wheeling much or did it just need a slight curvature putting length ways into the aluminum skin? The reason I ask this is to see if it's possible to make a hood without using an English wheel as it doesn't seem to have a great compound curve to it
Thanks..

Yes, you have to get shape in the panels first.

Next up is start the process of inner panels, mock everything up then remove for body paint.
This can be a little tricky, you must have all your folds right or things wont fit.
