bead roller idea for big english wheel frames

[wayne petty]

i know that a hand full of you have the LARGE frame english wheels..

has anybody thought about building a bead rolling attachment for it...  that use  a big C shaped guide bar for steering the bead rolling upper and lower dies    so one could roll big panels deep into the panel...     using some kind of hydraulic gear reduction motor to power one of the wheels.. perhaps one of the steering control valves to control the forward and backward of the gear motor ...

this is just a thought.... i was looking at glens build and noticed in one photo that the floor panels were not installed.. i was thinking of how they might be easier to install a double layer version.. one for the drivers and passengers foot well....   the main sections under the car... on the outside of the tube chassis...    all held on with quick release fasteners.. keeping all the bottom of the car chassis tubes out of the wind stream..

but then i come up with weird ideas like the dual layer rear spoiler... with opening into the trunk... so the air flowing over the tip of the spoiler pulls air out from the trunk area .. or as my original idea was for a funny car body.. as that would reduce the amount of air trapped under the body...  the only problem with the funny car application would be the peacock tail of flames if there is ever a fireball..  

another idea .. that probably would work.. up in flames...

It's been done. Also using a pattern, and a rubber wheel to roll shapes into a panel.
