Fortunately I have been able to find good original aprons to use as samples to modify the reproductions. Also having a Pullmax with custom dies to reshape the lip helps save time also. One area that I think has drastically changed the hobby is the apparent lack of desire for aesthetically authentic items when a car is being restored. Most restorers just excuse it as "I am only building a driver..." and are ok with it not being accurate in form & function.
