Swamprat, Larry at West Coast Metalshapers was asking if anyone was interested in a PNW metalshaping meet. Check it out....

Another item to get crossed off the list, there was a questionable spot on the drip rail above the lift gate.
After cutting it out, this appears to be the factory seam for joining two sections.
Looking at the profile, we'll add the top hem first...
Then a radius die and the skateboard wheel in the bead roller was used to add the profile to the replacement...
The area where the hem adds another thickness is chamfered to insure good weld penetration...
All welded in place and welds dressed...
Much better!
