Thanks for that tip guys! I usually cut a piece of card board up until I get the correct shape. It usually takes a while.

Trying to finalize the rear end of this car.. The tailgate skin didn't align too well to the upper lift gate, the gap was way out of whack. I guess this is what I get for installing the skin based on the old tailgate.








Note to self, don't fold door skins unless adjacent panel is there to set gaps..


Time to break out the door skin removal tool....











Flange unfolded....





Spoon was slid between the skin and inner panel and body hammer used to flatten out the crease...





Right side flange is now a bit short, so added a strip of metal..











Flange re-folded, just needs some fine tuning and finishing the corners..











Much better...
