The BMW 507 Ultimate Build Thread!!!

Dave, there are some good Kirkham videos on YouTube that show great metal forming skills. The Kirkhams are the ones that built my bronze bodied Cobra. What these guys do with a flat piece of metal is amazing.

Way cool Dave! Are folks down in Texas smaller than us Yankees? I don’t know how I’d fit my keester in them tiny cavities you got. Oh well, you took art in HS, so who am I to second guess?!

Tim, can you share a couple pics of that Cobra? I'd love to see them and I'm sure that Dave wouldn't mind seeing it as well.

I watched some of the Kirkhams videos on YouYube yesterday and as a A&P mech and sheet metal hack I found it very interesting. Like the repair to the left rear fender/Q panel that was caved in..... WOW !
These guys are GOOD.
Question Tim

What was the metal and or process in making your bronze body ?


Thanks Mike
