 |
Picture # 88 Working the proper curvature with the English Wheel. |
 |
Picture # 89 Dominique is seen here bending the bottom portion of the door. |
 |
Picture # 90 Fitting the door skin for test. |

Picture # 91 The rear fenders were fabricated from two pieces and the arrow indicates where they will be joined. |
 |
Picture # 92 View of the original front shroud, much work had to be done to bring it back to its original shape. |
 |
Picture # 93 The shroud is repaired, now the final fitting begins.
|
 |
Picture # 94 This portion of the front shroud has been reinforced to prevent bending in hard cornering. The green line shows where the lip will be cut to follow the original contour line. |
 |
Picture # 95 This photo shows the reinforced piece added as well as the tool fabricated to shape this piece to the proper contour of the shroud. |
 |
Picture # 96 Angle iron welded together have helped in the proper positioning of the aluminum panels according to the drawings conceived originally by DMH. The left front fender, once aligned, will fit perfectly with the front shroud.Thanks to Eric Perou who made all of this possible, thus enabling Dominique to fabricate this body. |
