I'm pretty sure you ram a flat piece of metal between the 2 wheels, roll it back and forth, gradually bending the metal. At least that's how I saw it on TV.

With that I can do it faster! , and crush a finger or two to boot.



On the serious side, I can weld that up for ~75.00 Vs. 600 to buy a small one!!!

no machine will ever replace a good set of hands.



Man makes cars out of clay molds, then its machines that takes

over from there using the molds that were created by human hands.



Fikse- That machine pounds metal into the shapes you want it
