Hello everyone,
I have spent most of today trying to get a nice smooth curve out of 18gauge sheet metal for a patch panel on my 1970 Buick Lesabre. In the end, it became extremely wrinkled from me bending it back and forth and so I decided I will start over.
18 gauge is pretty stiff and so I am not able to make the type of curve I want with my hands, and even with a break it can still be difficult.
My question to you guys is how do you fabricate a patch panel with a curve?
How do you know how much to bend it?
Thank you
