This week, Garage Time dances with an English Wheel and goes to the beach to hammerform a strengthening rib into the longhood extension inner skin. The same hammerform used to metalshape the outer skin was used once again to shape the inner skin. The english wheel was used to smooth out all the hammer bumps and smooth the sheet metal. I also fabricated some special forming dies to shape a rib into the inner skin for strength.
This video series filmed in my home workshop highlights the technical details of my classic car restoration (An aircooled Porsche 911). I’m starting with a stripped out shell from 1974 and backdating it to the earlier longhood look. (Backdated Porsche means to make it look older than it is). It’s not easy to build a car in a small garage but I hope to inspire other gearhead minded people like me to build something cool with DIY style.
Porsche...there is no substitute
