Talking Panels

I've made the templets out of 1/4 inch foamboard that has a posterboard surface on both side, it's sheap at wall mart and worked great. after the templets I made the panels and put rller beads on them to strengthen them. Bought a air riveter and sheetmetal brake along with the bead roller and man it goin good.
Havin fun with the sheetmetal.

under the aluminum panels in the engine compartment i'm using 1/8 inch cork with one side adhesive for temperature control. Cork is a great insulator for heat, learned it from my place of employment. The one sided adhesive cork is fairly cheap and will keep the heat transfer down around the footbos area.\


Thanks for all the help.
