Re: Project "Jezebel"

Next I needed to replace the drip rails. After searching for repops it was apparent they were either nonexistent or they were made from inferior material (22ga thin steel). I had tried to patch them earlier and just did not like the idea so I decided to make my own.

I started with a sheet of 18ga I cut a 1 1/2 x 60" slice I cut with the plasma.

Next I needed to roll 1/8" back on itself to give me the profile I needed to match the original.

Next came the 90deg edge that directs the water run off along the channel.
