    Of course... I see now, I wasn't clear... I was thinking of a flat panel with a curved corner that needs a right angle flange... Think new floor fitting into our cab's rear corners.
     
  4. A tipping wheel on a bead roller will start the shape you need, but shrinking that flange will be required. Search Lazze metal shaping on youtube, there are videos that show how the tipping wheel works.
