Metal Finishing

Started smoothing one of the pieces.
Almost perfect, but not quite.
Got to move onto another piece for now before I get crazy.

Reverse Soothed Out

A few more pics after some more pounding and e-wheeling.
Not ready yet, but the general shape is there.
I must smooth out all the pieces next before welding them together.

Driver's Side "Reverse"

I pounded out the driver's side reverse at the meet also.
This one I did differently as I got some advice from one of the MetalMeet guys after I did the last one.
He told me to stretch the edges evenly over a 3 or 4" diameter hole in the stump.
He also mentioned using a smaller tipped hammer. I made one up out of an oak stair newel post.
I did these two things and was it ever quicker than beating it on a bag.
