    Good call. I forgot about Andrew. He still has it - I'll be getting with him.

    no true metal fabricator would use a roller, he hand hammered it. No dolly, No heat, no anything....and the result was perfect, no waves. The guy is a master, and was done in 30 minutes. Plus, he did it from one molding to the other, the entire lip basically.

    I scrapped the peeling paint, hit it with epoxy primer, then bed liner.

    I cut the lip off with a body saw and used body adheasive to hold it all together. Worked great. Still looks like the day I did it.
