Body Buck

Bas-relief in salvaged wood #105, 322 x 116 x 15cm.
Private collection, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
A body-buck or hammer-form is a sturdy wooden structure used in producing one-off metal panels for coachwork. It is used for prototypes, concept cars and restoration projects. This bas-relief is a rendition of the body buck for the Bizzarrini Manta Concept by Ital Design in 1969.
Photo’s of the construction process of the original car.
Thanks to Jack Koobs de Hartog for most of these images.
