Side Panels

I've spent the last couple of weeks fabricating and fitting my side panels.
These are made from 1mm ali sheet (1050A H14 grade, which is fairly soft, so easy to bend).
I cut them out with a jigsaw, and bent them to shape using a combination of clamps, lengths of wood, and a rubber mallet.
They're fixed to the chassis using sikaflex ebt and rivets.
They look green in the pics as they still have a protective film on them.
I'm no panel beater, so the finish isn't amazing, they'll be no doubt that it's a homemade car!
