Looking for videos of shaping the rear body panel especially around the upper and lower corners of the locost, caterham super seven?

I don't know of any videos like that. There are a number ways to do it.

Are you trying to roll the skin around the tubing?

360LA 442E: 134.5x46x15
Lotus7:115x39x7.25
Tiger Avon:114x40x13.3-12.6
Champion/Book:114x42x11
Gibbs/Haynes:122x42x14
VoDou:113x44x14
McSorley 442:122x46x14
Collins 241:127x46x12

If you have the Chris Gibbs book on the Gen 2 version of the Haynes Roadster, you'll find some instruction on pages 92-93, but it's not extensive. You'll at least see the tools.

Cheers,

No video, but I did shoot a series of pics and post to Locost 7 Builders page on fb. Now you'll have to look a ways back 7/13/2020 to be precise I did a multi pic segment on forming around the cockpit arches.

6/29/2020 I did the same for the rear panel.

@TooBusy

Do you have time to repost here? There are probably a lot of us who don't use Facebook.
