    No shrinker/stretcher, or heat to get that bend?

    how do you get the other curve in it? do you just hold it tight to the body as you go along and weld it? you know the curve i'm talking about, if you sight along the drip rail from front to back, how it bows out in the center.

    That looks great and you made it look so easy. I will have to give it a try, mine are in pretty tough shape.

    The curve is just bent by hand over the hoop. Nothing fancy about it. The small ammount of curve following the bodys shape is made by just clamping it to the body as you weld it on.
