Thanks Rick, the bead rollers pretty cool, but I’ve used the shrinker
stretcher more than it

Impressive patch design and fab work Ron. I am watching this series with
keen interest because I want to learn some of your technique and tricks for

Great stuff Ron. I’m enjoying the ride without the stress of having to do
it myself!

pieces look good ron,i like them metal shaping chizels but i can see how
the bead roller would be better,turning the handle and guiding the piece
must be a handfull,ive never had the chance to use one yet,keep up the good
work,u will get her,tc

That front patch work is working along nicely Ron. It always looks so
overwhelming when you first start looking at the whole job but when you
start breaking the job down into smaller portions it starts to become
easier to work out the details. Your about there on the face pieces so the
connecting pcs should be a little easier to line out and work into place.
Your doing a great job and it is looking a lot better as you move along.
Cheers OLDDUDE
