HAHAHA yes it work down under.
Works very well, if I didn't have the turned up edges it would just flop around like jelly and will have no idea where the shape is at.
The way it is at the moment I can put the gauges on to see where I'm at and EW accordingly.

It is confirmed from Bart, that it works on the other side of the world too ...

Do a little at a time. Checking with pattern but this pattern is a bit rough. Need to make another pattern

Latest on the roof panel.
I've been going slow on it, just spending a little time here and there.
Still have a little more folds at the front window recess section.
Then time to finish wheel. I figured if I fold the recess first it may help to keep the panel stiff enough to finish wheel. I guess ill find out if this is the right way

Bart, that's a great result. You can use a hand C hammer or a hand EW to straighten edges or some places. A large panel is a treacherous thing. Your result is great.

You should be able to hand finish it with dollies/flipper work and a shrinking disc.

Bart, helping and showing on this site is the duty of every member. Anyone who only gathers ideas at this place just to sell them somewhere and not add anything of their own should not be here. Exchange of experience is necessary. Even bad advice can make things shift to good results. You're doing well. I'm happy. It is a problematic part.

For sure, it's a tough panel. I just finished 3' x 1-1/2' panels and had the hardest time. Every one was also wrong when finished.


I have no idea how you got this far on your own. Congrats.
