should be able to keep your rebodied RL "lime spreader" in the not garage, when its off season  Now that I like a lot (nearly has much has the Red Goddess) - very much appeals to me - but if owned it I would have find a use for it - like filling the hopper with horse manure and engaging the spreading drive when a utter turbo nutter decides he wants to drive up the ar8e of my slow truck  |

There's a few classic commercial forums and then there's the Historic Military Vehicle Forum but there's no place like home (Retro Rides). Clicks Ruby Slippers together |

The Historic Military Vehicle Forum (HMVF) has some good stuff, and it’s worth trawling through the military stuff to find it; a WW1 Dennis springs most readily to mind. Then there’s “Trucknet” which has an “old timers” section, but it’s more about reminiscing than restoration. I ended up here when I was looking for a forum to record my build on, having been recommended via a Raleigh bike forum by darrenh.

No apology required we have all been there at some stage, some of us are the more persistent offenders whilst others have virtually spent all of their lives attempting to break free from the situation |

Welp I think I've got the material for the side panels. It's called AluPanel or MultiPanel and it's a 4mm LDPe sandwiched between two 0.3mm aluminium sheets. Relatively light, relatively stiff, easy to machine into whatever deranged shape that I or Mr. @quatermass come up with and best of all the self-colour reds seem to be reasonably close to the Goddess Red but I'll check that at the weekend. Maybe, just maybe something will be reasonably simple for once.  |

It's good stuff, if somewhat pricy. Use it at work on occasion.

It's pretty much all fire retardant since that happened. Or at least burns slower.
Talk to a Joinery company, they'll have contacts where you can get it cheaper.
Be wary though, it dents easily, and if a sheet is buckled or warped it's pretty obvious.
If you need to do sharp folds, you can route a wedge out of the inside of the corner so it folds easily.
