One question though, can you explain a bit more on how you actually heated and bent the lip back?

thanks guys.

As far as bending it back, it was as technical as heating up the entire thing until it's WARM/PLIABLE basically, and then holding it with your foot in the middle and pulling the sides back... like you're bending a huge polymer bow with gorilla-like strength. I channeled my inner primate and it seemed to work fine.

As far as the "copies" part, cool with me! I doubt few of us on here were "pioneers" of anything, besides it's nice to share with the community anyway ! Post some pics up on here when you're done!
