He made a steel frame and used the Mittler Brothers bead roller to roll a contour edge into the frame. This is for stiffness and style.
Setting the vents into the frame gives you an idea of how the final piece will look.
After some consideration, a revised vent style was quickly made to make the vent angle more aggressive and to have better function.
The trailing edge of the frame was also flattened for a smoother appearance.
