I finally got the 2mmm sheet I was planning to use on the rear subframe. Here's a quick comparison to the regular sheet I'm using...
holy sheeit.
As expected, working in cold was way, way too hard so I had to get out the oxyacetylene torch. Unfortunately it took a better part of the day to admit it, so by the end of the day the shape for the first half wasn't quite as finished as I had hoped.
working the red-hot sheet was considerably easier; on par or perhapes ever more so than the thinnest sheet I had used. The bulge is an allowance for a shape in the lower layer. The bottom radius still needs to be worked on, but now it'll be easy work.
It would be so much more fun if I could just get a car and immediately get to the fun part, but nnnnooooo, around here you need to rebuild the car first.
