Thanks man not my finest work but good enough I think I’d have had better results had I used my bead roller to make the channel and just rolled the radius into flat metal as opposed to bending something up and shrinking and stretching it like I did because I didn’t want to have to “waste time” digging out the right tool 😂😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment
