Wow this is the first time for me to see something built out of brass from the start. I think i may be learning something new by watching this build. Great work i can't wait to see more

I havet had much chance to work on the truck lately, but I did start the roof. Probably the most complex piece, but I have confidence, let's see how it turns out.

The foam form

It's not perfect, but it's just the form for the brass

And I always make a card stock form

It makes it far easier to cut and form the brass with a general idea of where to cut and bend the brass
I should have some new picks later today, here's hoping anyway

Wow Timmy, I can tell that you have spent a ton of time into this project. As someone else stated you def. have ballz to do a project of this complexity. I half to agree w/ you about the roof. It is probally the hardest panel to form w/ its dome shaping, very challenging. Keep it up man looks really great
