I'll take the 2x4 piece if it's left (if it can be brought over with Andrew's)

Steve.. a piece 12" x 24" would be great for me. I have sweet Wiss snips to cut it up like butter.. and I can brake it up into any shape you want. I also can roll the sheet metal if you want that smooth look. Anyone want to place an order on bending the shiny stuff up, let me know, I'm really affordable [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Well considering I'm just going to be lining the inside of my canopy with the stuff, no real bending required. Perhaps just a 4" piece along the 60" length bent at a 90^ for the back edge? The remaining 20" is just going to lie flat along the top of my canopy.

(Sure wish I knew if I was getting my MH retro or not, then I'd ask for some more custom bending to accomodate the MH lamps) [img]images/smiles/icon_confused.gif[/img]

Geez Steve, I sense a real market here for these things [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

When you get the metal you will just have to come over and we can practice on some scraps of tin I have lying around the shop. We can get rather creative I think.

No problem Rob, just let me know what you need.
