Hi All whilst waiting for the paint job I decided to follow Paul's lead and do some paneling namely a hard half tonneau cover if that's what its called?
I started off with a very thick piece of cardboard.
cut it to approximately the shape I wanted then fixed a piece of 15mm x 15mm mild steel folded angle as the center support
and I must admit it looks ok so far? now I have to get some more angle for the curved supports for which I will need to borrow the metal shrink / stretchy thingy again and I'll pick up a sheet of aluminium some time next week
Then I can look forward to installing hundreds of pop rivets
