Good evening, what is the template that you use made of

[@slgclassiccars4098]

It's a "flexible shape pattern". We have a video with the making of it

[@overslidefrance363]

Formidable les gars, c'est de l'acier ou de l'alu?

[@slgclassiccars4098]

Alu, 1.25mm

Fantastic job!
But there is something I don't understand. Why waste time and money making a Flexible Shape Pattern when the original skin was onsite?
Why make an FSP in the first place, when it doesn't show the shape of the panel with any accuracy? Towards the end, he doesn't use it any more and instead refers to the shape of the original panel. Why not use a paper pattern, which is quicker to make; easier to read and cheap?

Hi, thanks for your comment. I made a Flexible Shape Pattern if I have to make this part again when the car is away.
Indeed, to copy only 1 part I dont need a FSP
