When the aluminum body is made, the areas where the aluminum wraps around the body are left long. Here we are trimming them to fit. We use an air saw to cut the aluminum with a 24 or 32 tooth/inch blade. We don't use sheet metal snips if we can help it as the snips tend to distort the aluminum. In this video we are trimming the aluminum that fits right at the base of the trunk.
