Mark, you`ll have to upload the pics to something like PHOTOBUCKET and then put them here.
   (See the 'Posting Photo`s' thread, 5th post down, for more detail.)

markn, go directly to Kirkham in the US and you surely will pay less than if you buy from a reseller in Europe! Anyway, good luck and let's see these photos! Emmanuel

Wow Mark,
   That's really impressive.
   Did you form it over a buck?
   And how long did it take?
   
   Wishing I had a garage,

Yes Rob over a buck. the owner had two aces    one needed a body off restoration  and the other was rolling chassis. So I took the body off the first one cleaned the inside out and took a glass mould a framed up a buck and took patterns of complete inner panels to make a new alloy body for the second car. I worked at Crailville coachbuilders in London.
