Here you see the rough template for the fairing. 


After adapting the template to a piece of plywood I made ribs indicating the contours i would like to gain.


Smash, pound, jam, shrink, stretch, wheel, planish, bend, beat the metal until it lays over the buck.

  2. Yeah Andy!!!

    There's nothing more fulfilling (and time consuming) than turning alum into a shape straight from your brain. That full fairing is going to be beautiful!
