Reply to "Mangusta Front Truck (Frunk) panels"

Yep, Gary had purchased a sheet of aluminum large enough, Lee loaned me his original and I traced and cut out the basic shape...  Then I marked where the "bumps" for the bleeders needed to be and cut a 2" hole in a piece of 2x6 and placed a cue ball under the sheet in that spot, aligned the 2x6 hole over it and went to town on the 2x6 to get the bumps...   Worked like a charm...  Then sprayed it with wrinkle paint and moved on top the next project.

Had to fab up a replacement for the missing piece the heater leaver goes through...  Traced-n-banged that out by covering Lee's original with painters tape, then transfer the tape pattern to a fresh sheet of aluminum, traced it out, cut and folded, then more wrinkle paint...

Lucky for us DeTomaso used a lot of simple patterns...
