Can Stainless trim be shrunk?
Hello all! I have a 1950 Chevy styleline that has been chopped. The belt line trim no longer flows with c pillars. My question is can it be shrunk in the corners some how? If so how would one go about to so? Would I "unfold" the flange and run it through a shrinker and the fold the flange back?

For your case, a different shape of pulleys. I deal with some things with that. Of course it's a tool for my EW. I couldn't by do with just one non-replaceable wheel at the top.
I don't know if it will work, but you could try it. The your bend is not that big. DSC00475 (2).JPG DSC00476.JPG

When we do either the old brass trim or the 301 stainless we fill the hollows with either tree pitch or lead (melted tire weights).
The "pyramid roll" is a nice design, allowing for movement of two of the three rolls (skateboard rollers). Roll back and forth as you gradually tighten the pyramid.

The principle is clear. I guess I didn't take a picture. It is always a question of current need. Then I reach for this tool. Everything is in your hands and eye.
