I thought about cutting and welding but that sounds like more trouble than it's worth to me. I do have a miter saw but never thought it would work for metal as the rpm is a lot lower than a grinder.... noted!

So shops can't do mandrel bends? If not, will the "squish" be small on such a small bend?

[Scarebird]

Most shops cannot - none in New Mexico did, and here in Portugal? lol

Yes, squish is the same whether 2 degrees or 90...

Just because I wanted to.....

Local shop bent them for free! Yes, they were squished, but no wrinkles.

I shortened and angled with a cutoff wheel in my grinder to try for a reasonable match to Scarebird's drawing (thanks again for that!).



The bend dropped them about an inch below the valance. Seems a good place for them.

[Scarebird]

You are quite welcome. That looks quite good.

Took me 3 passes of dinging, filler, and blocking to straighten the valance.

PO left it like this on both sides to fit those oversized 4-inch diameter tips:



I did not have too much trouble straightening and the filler is not embarrassing:



Finally got it epoxy-primed today after waiting a couple weeks for the winds and cold to stop:
