I intend to learn a new skill and shape aluminum panels to make a
motorcycle fairing. I have seen a skilled pro make them, and have
aquirred a beating bag and have an antique hand-held English wheel.
Anyone experienced with panel beating enough to know if the easier to
obtain 3003 Aluminum is as good a choice as 1100 series? Is .060 to thick?
Is an air plannishing hammer a substitite for a Wheel, or something to
be used with it?
