| Yesterday I went to the shop and measured the nose of the car. This part of the car that has the most curves. I started out thinking that I could take a piece of cardboard and just cut and trim untill I matched the curves of the particular section, but that would be too time consuming. What I ended up doing is taking some welding rod that they had at the shop and bending that to conform to the radii of the car untill it fit without any springback. I did this for every longitudinal section (Mid,+1,+2,+3,+4) and also did it for the eleventh latitudinal section. After all of the sections were formed to the body, I traced them onto a piece of paper and will then scan them in and paste the images directly onto a sketch. |
