Been doing my panel at college for a while now so I thought i'd see what you all think.
Started off by making the frame up, spot welded some corner brackets to hold it together and then mig welded them up.
Then we put the skin through the english wheel to give it a slight curve (I overdid mine and it has a huge curve lol) then a clinch joint holds the skin in place. Our tutor then gives it a big whack with a hammer so we have a dent to fill, then primer and top coat.
We were allowed any design on afterwards, I didnt go with the obvious as it was too awkward but the one I did meant I could do it yellow :d
Anyone that has me on facebook will have already seen it, but for those who haven't
