Here we go. It's more rough and ready than I'd realised but the curves and the fin are nice. It's practically hand-made!
Just as a casual observer I wonder why they would put all those curves in an area where the only person that would ever see them would either be laying under it, or a maybe a mechanic with the car on a hoist.Here we go.

Perhaps available commercially and used fully exposed in an earlier model?Just as a casual observer I wonder why they would put all those curves in an area where the only person that would ever see them would either be laying under it, or a maybe a mechanic with the car on a hoist.
I can't help but notice the way all the curves run resemble what would happen if the item had a fairly flat bottom edge and then the driver reversed into something and pushed it a bit out of shape.
Has anyone seen another one of these to compare it to in this area?
Not trying to be a wet blanket, but it would be a shame to put all that effort into copying something that may have been deformed in some way.![]()
At the very least it’s hand finished by someone proud of their work.It's practically hand-made!
Yes, that's right. It's a lovely thing.At the very least it’s hand finished by someone proud of their work.
You've all seen my work, I spend my time making good parts look shitty, so I would be the last person to critique something that's less than perfect.Oh, I was just making a general observation.
Greenpeace is quite right that the object of our admiration may be not in pristine condition but I would be more surprised if the original items were all precisely identical straight from the manufacturer.
You have also at times made shitty parts look good.You've all seen my work, I spend my time making good parts look shitty, so I would be the last person to critique something that's less than perfect.
I only mentioned the shape because Fregate is doing the opposite. The tribute car he is building is to a high standard, trying to replicate period parts as they were when new "back in the day".![]()
I could send you a cake of soap.
