Building Astra Coupe Body Construction
The body's construction largely follows wartime aircraft practice. Jay first made an armature out of thin-wall steel tubing in the profile that matched his drawings. Using it as a buck, Jack Sutton and Dennis Powers rolled the aluminum panels on an English wheel. Note that Jay designed the body with production-car front and rear windows. Though the side glass is his own shape, he spliced together bits of convertible window channel to create the frames. View Related Article
