Thanks! Princess Auto here in Canada or Harbor Freight in the US should be about $150.

I can't find that brake anywhere or anything close to it for near $150.

im working on a 65 sun roof right now. I see your using 20 gauge sheet metal, but im new to this and wondered if its cold rolled, hot rolled, etc, what kind of metal should I get for the panels? searching for sheetmetal was un helpful, the only thing i learned was dont use galvanized....
