OK Guys
    I went to that Harbor freight place today
and found a couple of possibilities for bending
alunimum chassis, The one that I bought was 9.99
and is called a 3.5 inch Hand Seamer and it lookes like
it could be modified for various lengths and deapths with
a little imagination.  Two screws holding each plate
that looks like a little less then the half of a door
threashold alunuimum trim and then tapped for two
screws.  But this should be good for most little jobs
I might be wanting it for at the moment anyways.
Without additional plates to make the bend deaper
into the metal, I only have a 2 inch deep grab, but
I would think a couple of nice flat peaces of steel
could make another inch or so without taxing it too
much.  Thanks for the ideas gents.
