Fabricating the valance that sits in front of the core support and covers the top of the radiator. This is pretty straight forward but it does have a few tricky parts to it. We want to do quite a bit of bead rolling on this and it is more then 5 foot wide so we need to build it in halves then weld it together after Greg rolls it and brakes it.

So we needed to mock it up in cardboard, not as easy as it seems.
