    Tiny Hammer Form Buck for Model Car Wheel Tubs

    I used to do a LOT of model building. Got out of it (mostly) in the early 90's. I was working on a Pro Street 37 Ford and wanted to make some aluminum wheel tubs for it so, this is what I came up with.
    A pic of the car with the tubs installed. This is 1/24th scale.

    This is the very simple hammer form buck I came up with.

    Turned it up on the lathe...

    With the hose clamp it really holds a strip of .010 thick aluminum tightly.

    Continued next post.
