Alloy wings & baulkheads etc
 

Hi! I am a newbie so please be patient.

I am looking into the availability of alloy wings, baulkheads etc. I have a 1927 Hotchkiss rolling chassis and want to build up a Sportster. I have a Model T and a Dodge, both 1925. I may go open wheel or use a set of simple alloy cycle guards but some kit cars I have seen have pretty flowing Lagonda-style wings but are often only GRP. I prefer alloy. I can do the louvred bonnet but do need a baulkhead. Any idea? The vintage body builders seem to set their prices at a level which is way beyond my means and normally end up as a £250,000 replica Bentley etc. The Hotchkiss is never going to get up to those levels. I welcome news of alloy availability. Many thanks.
