| Last night I finished welding in the driver's side A-post skin--I gotta say 
it looks pretty darn good for this welding novice!!!    If only the front 
fender and door will fit with proper straight line clearances, I will be in 
like Flynn, as they say!!   Question, though:  I have not yet attempted to 
bend and crimp the rear flange around the a-post yet.  Are there any tricks I 
should know as to how to best do this without denting the outer skin?  I know 
Eastwood has a tool for this, but I don't have one and if there is a way to 
do it cleanly without denting the skin I would prefer to not buy a tool I 
will only use a couple of times.  Thanks for any replies.
