Although the original was aluminum, this one will be steel. From guys I’ve talked to about metal shaping and forming, with this being my first time, they suggested 20ga which gives some good strength but is malleable enough to not let me get too frustrated starting out.
Should I make another, the second one would be stronger 18ga. I’m just going to have to use some scrap and figure out what is working best for me. Perhaps some parts like the doors/hood thicker while other where there’s more curves will be the thinner metal.
Either way, it’s sure to be a disaster!!
They’re about done on the CAD model, so more pics soon!!!!
