Hey guys I purchased a set of shrinker stretchers the other day to aid in my patch panel fab.

The problem is I do not know what I am doing.

I am trying to make a patch panel for the lower rear quarter panel inner panel for my 63 Galaxie. The patch panel is about 19 inches long and 2 inches wide with a 1/2 inch 90 deg bend the length of the panel.

The problem I am having is after I use the brake to put in the bend I try shaping it a little. The first half goes great do to just a slight bend but the other half is giving me fits.

The foward section is S shaped with the with the top of the S turned 90 deg.

I tried shrinking and stretching to get the shape I need but the narrow section of the patch moved easily with the shrinker stretcher but the 2 inch section did not do much moving,



Here is a pic that may help
