 |
|
What is the best tool(s)/way to crimp this panels on to my single cab? I've seen the door skin tools, but how well do they work on round edges? I don't want the corners to look like poopoo! 
Flat edges are easy and I've got the hammer and dolly techniques down for those. I've never attempted these kind of crimps. Thanks |

you might have to get a couple of different hammers and dollies for the corners...with a light amount of heat on only the edges...she'll fold right around.
