was wondering if anyone on here has a fender well roller so i can roll out my fenders some. just put new tires on today and the tire are scrapping when i hit bumps (lowered beater). if i could use it one afternoon, or i can come over and do it in the drive, i would be perfectly ok with that...i just dont want to chew up my new tires!
Thanks!!!!

BFH!! I have always just taken a 3lb mini sledge and just gently worked my way back and forth.

You can also use a piece of wood to soften the blow.

I've got one, but it's out on loan to a guy I don's see very often.:lol: However I think it is a big ol POS. I ended up using a whiz wheel to cut the lip off instead.

jack the rearend up let the rear suspension stretch wedge a baseball bat between the tire and wheel well and go to town works killer if u get the hang of it,use a little ductape on the paint before you do it,maybe even wrap the ball bat with some duct tape

Or you could call my good friend Ty. He rents out the Eastwood Fender roller. I used it on my RX-7 and it did a fantastic job. He lives just across the river in KY.

Save your paint while you still can. You're 100% likely to crack your paint using a baseball bat. With the rental, Ty also includes an adjustable temperature heat gun. It made rolling my fenders a breeze, and no cracks in the paint.

He's right, if you have never used a bat to roll you will crack your paint (90% chance).
