Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

I am heading off right now for a full forth of July day, parade, fireworks the whole bit. So I HAD to get out there for my five minutes this morning. Got my radio hole angled edge removed, cleaned up back and front and a patch made. Though that patch still needs some fine tuning to get it butted in there but didn't want to be grinding out there being the neighbors have already started their 4th festivities out back. Anyway, off to the celebrations! And I will be celebrating another step on the truck on it's way.

How did you get that radio delete piece bent at the same angle as the dash? I have tried to make smooth bends like that and have failed miserably.

I went walking around looking for something that was round in the right size and ended up on an engine stand in the back yard. LOL I used an auto body spoon to bend it into shape over that pipe on the engine stand.
