Newbie car bodywork repairer here again, so please assume I know nothing! [alongside limited equipment]
I want to form some metal into the red shape below, to fit round the curved edge of the flat black shape. It's the inside face of rear sill, so the black is the bottom of the sill, lying horizontal, and the red is vertical following the curvy edge. It's got a flange to join the two together, at first I thought if I use my new bead roller along the curved line it would form the desired shape but, no surprise, it just deformed the shorter less stiff flange side into a sort of frilly effect. So how can I force it the other way?
Appreciate it would be much easier to just ignore the flange part of the red and weld the vertical section only to the black at 90 degrees, but, where's the challenge in that?? Any advice or helpful video links etc. much appreciated, haven't got a clue what keywords to look for and searching so far hasn't come up with much.
Cheers
