Re: Sheet Metal Quality

I have to get back to my real job....

I did manage to get more done on a modified 'Cuda Shaker Bubble. I don't want to clone it; just make a representation. I found a good top-down profile to work with and have the basic shape and perimeter, which needs to be scaled once I get a good number for either the length or width.

I still have to tilt the bubble front-to-back, but that's for another day. Once that's done, it should be 90% +/-. I have the air vents drawn and will just mill a jig for cutting them out... but might also do a one-off on the vents. Undecided at the moment.
