Blisters II

11-15-2012 -- The blisters are being crafted!  I went out to the shop today at lunchtime and Dan was well along with the first of the blisters.  He started by creating cardboard patterns delineating the outer edge and the "fold" line where the flange transitions to the bulge.  He then made a frame to hold the flat sheet of steel while he hammers it into shape, using cardboard gauges to measure the depth.  The cardboard gauge will also ensure that the blisters on each side of the car will be identical.
