​the originals were paper thin from rework & rust

Some minor hammer & dolly work was needed on the rounded corners, along with a slight touch with the sander.

​The taper is very noticeable here.

​I used my small wheel with the dedicated rubber upper wheel & a tight radius lower anvil so start the tapered crease roll over.


​The flange for the bottom edge needed a little more then a 90 degree bend so a little hand work was needed.

​The arch was put in using my Baileigh MSS-16F shrinker stretcher another great tool I sell.
