Slip roll!!

I just use my Iphone's camera so it's not that big of a hassle.

My buddies shop has one but it's so big that it won't make a small enough radius for fender edges or that kinda stuff. I have used one before though and they're pretty neat!

Made a rear shelf panel for a Nova that curved into the backrest and console using a slip roll.
