Looks good, I do wish mine had the 6" breaks. Those curves are fun ain't they?

Schweet If I had a local RV metal shop that only supplied 4" metal, I would have used them rather that pay the shipping and crating I had to pay. Either way I had to ship the skin, so for the extra $100 it was worth it to get 6" break. Yes, the curves were a pain and I'm not entirely happy with the way they came out. It will have to be good enough at this point...I do know they're well sealed.

The curved corners are tough. I've found that using a 4x4 block to hold down the metal and beat the edges over with a rubber mallet works best for me. I've also seen people make little cuts every inch of so going around the curves. Seems to flatten a little better. Next time Im going to try little notches...
Looks absolutely stunning Schweet. Very nice job inside and out.

I just got the Shasta back from paint…picking it up was a similar feeling to Christmas morning when I was a kid. The only problem I have now is I have to get on a plane tomorrow morning and won’t be able to put all the trim pieces on for better photos. Here are a couple teaser pics, more to come in another week.
