This is a project I did last summer. A friend of mine was recreating a 60's
era Chassis Research dragster which were offered in kit form back in the day.
He had done a great job on the chassis, and drive train, and needed a simple
body of the style in vogue at the time. I had always wanted to try forming a
dragster body so I agreed to give it a shot. There won't be too much metal
shaping as these are simple bodies. I'm just an amateur at this so it will be a
learning experience.
I'm using .063 3003 H14 alum which is heavier than .050 commonly used, but
holds it's shape better. The owner isn't worried about weight, this is a fun
car, not a record holder. Not having a radius break I decided to use my slip
rolls which are 36" w/2" rolls. I fabbed an xtra large handle to help with the
shaping. I'm only rolling about an 8" stretch of metal to form the body shape.
