Thanks for looking into this further. I had largely run into a roadblock in the past when I tried to find companies who could do this since I didn't know exactly what to ask for.

I've contacted a supplier of coil stainless to see if they could think of a shop that might already have 16" coil and would have a roll-former. I heaven't heard back yet, but thought that might be a good way to find someone who has experience working stainless with a roll-former.

I know there are a lot of bus nuts who would like to have a source for this, but they are often doing their bus restorations at minimal cost, so I'm not sure how many would actually drop the $$ to get it maid. I'm willing to spend extra $$ to get exactly what I want. It's not that I have a bunch of bucks, it's just that I'm rather particular and want things done right.

Please send me a private message if any of you think this is something you could tackle (or know of a good shop that can). My timeframe is to get the accent stainless reproduced within the next 6-8 months.
