What method or break are you using to make the bends close like that on the radiator cover. That thing looks awesome!

Thanks FormTA. I used a Woodward Fab 3-n-1 combo machine. It rolls and bends pretty decent but won't shear peanut brittle! However, I do have to give it some credit as the aluminum I'm bending is 22" wide .063!!! I heat it with a little propane torch before bending, put my foot about mid point of the machine and pull like hell on the handles ;-) The trick with creating a shallow reverse bend is setting the material a little deeper/further into the "V" channel of the lower die.
