My efforts of 30 years back (fingers crossed, my first time trying to post photos). Single curve tail, "double curve" bit in free air under the luggage lid. Scuttle top shape by pushing and pulling with hands, at least that's my memory. Maybe it got a bash with a roofers "trunchon" or whatever they're called.
20 years off the road, as ever at this time of year I think "maybe THIS is the year I get it back on the road..."
Can't easily put my hands on pics of godson's car, its at the "plywood and cardboard" stage. I understand his tail COULD be done all by hand (or same trick as mine to "hide" the double curve) but with a premium on his time now the recent insight is to just how much more productive it is using a wheeling machine for the planishing stage. It also appears to be an order of magnitude easier to use in that mode than for shaping, and fun and gratifying.
