Re: Fashionable Fever! - 1969 Chevy C10 Build

I have the HF shrinker/stretcher, and I can assure you it can get that piece bent to the shape you need. You will need to mount it, or at the very least, clamp it in a vise so that you can work it a bit harder.

you will need to continue going a little past the marks you made to really bring out the right shape.

Finally, do a search on youtube about 'tuning up' a shrinker/stretcher. This involves some light sanding to the sides of the little jaws as well as oiling so that they glide on each other better. Make a difference for sure. I use my HF shrinker/stretcher all the time and it works quite good. I did make a mount and foot pedal for mine, so it's even easier to use now.
