Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!
Bead rolling

Have you considered buying a bead roller from Princess Auto for a couple of hundred bucks and doing it yourself? More than likely less than the cost of labour of having someone else do it. You also have the option of selling the tool when you're finished.

Bead roller needs to be powered to be a one person operation. I have one of the cheap ones and did a lot of work to it to make it stronger and added an electric motor.
I did all the interior panels for my 79 Mustang out of aluminum. Its a lot of work. Start with cardboard templates then make the panels using the pattern. Layout the lines for the bead on the panel then work slowly following the layout.

I have definitely considered the diy route. May still be the choice I end up making depending on cost.
Need some pictures please.
