Thanks men! Yesterday was a pivotal day in Super Dave's quest for his "Ultimate Driving Machine". I picked up the 507 body buck which was exactly when they said they'd have it done. Woohoo!
 Mike and Bryce nailed this thing. They even made instructions for me as well. Excellent work all around. They are now going to scan the windshield frame and start making one of those for me as well so I can get a windshield made up. Just amazing this 3D scanning stuff!!Here's a few pages of the instructions showing exactly how things are going together. Each of the stations are numbered by a small drilled hole. I've already decided that the tail panel and nose will be sculpted from wood for metal forming, which is how the original was made. So what's one to do with this body buck when done? Simple! Bring it to MCACN to be displayed right along side of the car!! Next month I'll have it assembled, but for now, I've got to get the Fantastical Ford F1 ready to leave today, finish the small shop up, and finally get Crusty driving!  You know... just a few things... Cheers  Dave

Bwahahaha!!!
 oK...now that’s some funny stuff right there! Hopefully this really turns out to be something special, and if not, there’s a contingency plan already in place. Living on ten acres, I have me own burn pile. Things don’t work out, guess where that body buck goes??   Cheers Dave

Wow, that seemed like a pretty reasonably quick timeframe to get done.
This really is one of the most interesting projects I've seen, and looking forward to seeing the progression of things.

Research continues, and I found some more pictures of original 507 bucks. This one was at the unveiling of the Elvis 507 at the BMW museum in Germany. I befriended a guy that forms cowlings for vintage aircraft at my local airport where I have a hangar, and he's willing to help me when I get stuck and want to turn my creation into a wadded up ball of tinfoil.
 I've got my supplies to form the buck this month and will do that when I get back. Also bought a windshield gasket along with a blank few data tags that I need. More later this month! Cheers Dave
