Default Machinist, car builder yearning for forming skills

Hi.
I like to design and build car(s) from scratch or setup cars for road racing. My latest project is a lightweight mid engine sports car designed from a clean sheet, all suspension components have been made from scratch including uprights. It's fun to drive around as sort of a "rail buggy" but my dream is to be able to form bodywork.

Welcome Mike. Your car sounds really neat. Pictures...we need pictures.

You need to look no further than Axle's Dion build. He too was a novice shaper. http://allmetalshaping.com/showthread.php?t=11100
