The buck is a three dimensional form which ensures that car body panels are shaped precisely. As well as restoring and rebuilding original ash frames and aluminium bodies, many of our antique auto projects require the creation of car bodies from merely photographs or sketches.<BR><IMG SRC="images/nil.gif" ALT="" WIDTH="5" HEIGHT="10" BORDER="0"><BR><IMG SRC="images/design1.jpg" ALT="A Buck" WIDTH="106" HEIGHT="117" BORDER="0"><IMG SRC="images/design2.jpg" ALT="Ferrari" WIDTH="171" HEIGHT="117" BORDER="0"><BR><IMG SRC="images/nil.gif" ALT="" WIDTH="5" HEIGHT="8" BORDER="0"><BR></FONT> </TD></TR> <TR> <TD WIDTH="10" ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"><IMG SRC="images/nil.gif" ALT="" WIDTH="10" HEIGHT="5" BORDER="0"></TD> <TD WIDTH="390" ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP"><FONT FACE="verdana, helvetica, sans serif" COLOR="#006600"><B>Ash Framing</B></FONT><BR><IMG SRC="images/nil.gif" ALT="" WIDTH="5" HEIGHT="8" BORDER="0"><BR><FONT FACE="verdana, helvetica, sans serif" SIZE="1">Ash frames and body bucks are constructed in the design and development workshop and range from Figoni et Falaschi inspired creations, through to pre and post war racing cars and saloons.
