Default Any sheetmetal workers here - after some advice.

I've been pondering how to deal with the aluminium shoulder panels and the side support SS1 strips. I've been thinking about either finding some sort of edge trim to cover the outer edge, or to form the aluminium over SS1 like a flange.

So tonight a had an experiment and managed to form quite a nice flange over SS1, the only diffiulty I've encountered is the panel (and the ends particulalry) are forming a curve and pulling away from the car.

Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid this happening?? Any tips on flange forming or tutorials in general would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Dave
