[VAC] Re: Aluminum skin
I had to replace some pieces similar to your problem. I made a cardboard
template that simulated the curve and went to a shop that had some scrap
aluminum plus a large shaping machine and we bent the piece into shape.
It was kind of funny watching this guy with a 18" x 20" piece of aluminum
inserting it manually in this machine designed for 12ft steel sheets
(made/repaired steel tanks). Good luck.
