governor Of Panama. Yet four years
later he was executed In the public

and speed. Many such attempts are
foredoomed to failure, because the
body is designed with no reference TO
drawings, patterns or the tool equip
ment involved.
Preliminary TO anything else, a scale
drawing of the chassis and the new
body should be made, and after the
builder has established, TO his own
satisfaction, that the new body will
fit the chassis, then only should the
actual work be undertaken. However,
n complete set of full-sized paper pat
terms should be made; with these the
builder can determine whether the
parts will fit together correctly. and
at the same time rectify any errors
Of calculation, or judgment, that may
have been made in the preliminary
scale drawing.
The illustration shows a body that
possesses straight lines throughout, as
1t is easier to work the sheet metal
with sharp, angular lines than any
other way, but the variety Of design
Is infinite, and Is only limited by the
skin, cash and facilities at the COM
mand Of the builder.
Use Sheet Iron.
The material most commonly used
Is No. IS or 20 gauge sheet iron, al
though the lighter and more expensive
aluminium can be used as well as a
lighter-gauge iron, but the latter Is
lnadvisable. For work of the kind
shown In the drawing, the most essen
tial tools will consist of a wooden NAL
let, tin shears and riveting and SOL
dering equipment. Most amateur
builders fall into the error Of trying
TO apply the component parts OF the
body to a wooden frame with nails.
which invariably results in a botched
and unsatisfactory Job.
Disk Wheels Not Liked.
Disk wheels are merely sheet-metal
disks bolted to both sides Of the
wheels. with an opening for ccess TO
the tire valve. Such wheels, on the
average light car, are not TO be par
ticularly commended. however, as they
are not entirely satisfactory. and at
the same time detract from that 'low,
rakish" appearance usually sought.
1t should be remembered that the
aim is to build a neat, individual auto
mobile body and not a boiler, and that,
therefore, the use of rivets and nails
for closing seams should be Stunned,
since both give positive evidence of
an amateurs handiwork.-Popular
