Hi All, On my chopped 50 Tudor: I am looking to find the best ways to reshape the tops of of the vent windows. I have the inner frames reshaped but am struggling with the stainless frames that hold the glass. I have heated the frames and gently put more bend using a metal pipe to make the bend but am finding that the frames want to kink ( I know the metal really needs to shrink) and come out of alignment. Would it be better if I were to pie cut and TIG back together? Thanks, Steve
