Default Re: Any sheet metal part for any car, no dies used

There was a thread on this a year or so ago. Still too expensive unless it's a Duesenberg. It's slow if you want 100s of parts. Of course it will produce a repeatable part. In the 1960s Cobras were hand hammered on wooden bucks in England by true craftsmen. Today Kirkham has them stamped out on permanent dies in a Polish aircraft plant. You can get one from them or Shelby American who will add $40,000 to the price to put a serial number plate that says it's a "real" Cobra. Pete Brock made the first Daytona Coupe here in America. The other 5 were hammered out in Italy. He can look at each one 20' away and tell you the serial number by how badly they followed the original.
