Steel skin
A local sheet metal bloke made up the outer sheet steel from exact copies of my original parts.
"No, I don't want 10mm folds, I want 3/8ths"
He also put me on to the wonders of ISR 70-05 adhesive.
Brilliant stuff to use and strong beyond belief.
I nailed the sections on one at a time taking care to stay true to the original nail holes.
The long curved top sections were rolled up to fit and nailed in place.
I added one sheet of steel across the top as per the original and once nailed on all worries about rigidity stopped.
