Here are a couple of shots of the wheel well lips I did with the tool pictured in the previous post.







Today I made another tool that I like even better, the fe male bushing i used has a tighter ID and the male part of the tool is the end cut off a car door hinge pin.
I also put a nut into the bushing to control the squish out on the back side. Check it out.









Hope this helps, have fun.
Mike

I have to agree, that does look really good. Especially the ones made with the newest tool. What did you use for the female side on the one you just made?

It was just a bushing I found in my junk, just cut off what I needed. This bushing has a thicker wall and it does not distort the metal as much as the first on I made.
