    sheet metal

    Quick question. I can roll sheet metal and i can bend the metal. The question is how is everyone rolling the back of the car with the 1/2 bend on the end's. Thanks

    when i make a body and it has a curve in the body like the windshild or rear trunk i bend the body part somewhat like the curvature that it needs , then put it in the brake and bend the 5/8 lip on both sides that way when you use the stretcher or shrinker on it it will try to go back to the shape you gave it before you put the 5/8 lip on it. otherwise if you use the strecher/shrinker on flat materal the only thing keeping its shap is the lip that has been stretched or shrinked ( tends to tear the materal) good luck
