Step 12Shell Patterns
The crack team of Kyrsten, Laura, Jackson, and Tansy had to make 60 plus custom sheet metal parts for the shell. After the growth rings were welded solidly in place, they made paper templates and carefully numbered them all. They then transferred the templates to 22 gauge cold rolled sheet metal and cut them with hand and pneumatic shears and a plasma cutter. Perforated sheet stock was used for the "window" areas.
After cut out, each piece had to be DA (orbital) sanded, cleaned with alcohol and renumbered. From this point on, no one could touch the sheet metal with their hands as this would leave prints in the final finish.
While this work was taking place, the rest of the crew moved forward with finishing all the details inside the car in preparation for the final shell.
