Still playing with notchbacks

A small old leather handbag filled with lead shot or even sand is a common bodyworking tool...

Make the sand in the bag fairly tight too. The tightness depends on what you are forming and the strength or softness of the material. Also, the "banging" tool's head shape can make a difference along with the strength used in forming.

Sounds basic... and it is after making learning flubs .

Going from hijumper nose cone cover plate to incorporating a mount too.

The new piece, after all the cutting, had a slight warp. Today, after breaking all sharp edges and deburring. I spent time at the 10 ton press. Now, the total roll is under 10 thou. I can live with that.

Been trying to finish sanding up the engive cover today. Too much dust to work inside, so I worked outside until the rains came. Driver side is dang smooth now. Passenger side will have to wait for now. When done, probably 95% or more of the filler will be sanded off.
