Thread: Fab of bottom door panels for 1937 Buick

Tweet

Thanks for posting these examples. I'm having the most trouble seeing how to form the hem that would hold the 5" panel to the side panels at the end. First picture is the same door on car. Second picture is the end of the door (from back) showing the curve to the bottom. Notice the folded over hem that captures the side piece. The hem is very similar to a folded over hem that holds more modern door skins across bottom of door frames. The difference is the hem goes around that .875 radius curve. This folded hem would be on the end of the 5" tall panel.
I'm having trouble seeing how to form this hem around the radius.
Thanks
