I wasn't sure which area to wheel and pull up into the top wheel. IMG_20190403_100657753.jpg IMG_20190403_100757943.jpg IMG_20190403_100813251.jpg

A little at the time till the sides are all the way up and try to bend the sides on a piece of pipe with the right radius ,then blend the shape in on the wheel with light pressure by wheeling side ways (NOT length ways) by pulling down lightly using the proper anvil (not too high crown) that will keep the sides flat rather then full like the first attempt Peter

Im having trouble attaining the amount of shrink I need. My home made tucking forks have made some damage in the corner. I tend to do longer bigger tucks maybe 2 inches long or less. Should I do smaller and more frequent ones? IMG_20190403_191946944.jpg

Guys I think I'm going to call it done...
It's not exactly to my design but it will serve it's purpose. As you can see the flange doesn't follow the original track perfectly, and it's not as deep as I wanted. I had to open the panel up to get closer to the template, which lessened the depth. It also has a small hollow in one section that I'm not quite sure how to fix....I ran the wheel back and forth (short way like Peter suggested) but cant seem to alleviate that low. IMG_20190403_215531134.jpg IMG_20190403_215554598.jpg Following Peter's method it certainly is much closer. Can I ask, if someone hired you to make this piece and gave you the template of where the flange had to land, how would you go about it? Im trying to figure out how I would do this in the future to ensure my flange lays where I want it. Yes, I pre-mapped it out on the flat blank, so that is likely problematic. I left extra material on the outside of my flange track but as I was shrinking and shrinking I eventually trimmed it down to the line to help get more shrink where I needed it. Anyway, thank you all very much. I'm getting really good at making scrap. so frustrating.

Got the panel on the truck tonight to test fit. It'll work! Sorry for the bad pictures. Again, thanks everyone for your help.

Looks like good progress, Rob. Way to hang in there and (especially) to take advice seriously. Very cool.
