    Thumbs up Rear fender lip rolling

    Looking for someone that will roll my 93 mustang rear fender lip the right way. Don't want to here about the old baseball trick. Want it done right.

    Me too. Warm the paint, make a few slits in the lip and massage it slowely from front to back. Not one wrinkle in the quarter. Fit a 27X11.50 QTP on a 10" rim with no issue. I placed my hand on the outside of the quarter where i was hitting, not sure if it was help or not, but it made me feel better about hitting it!

    Yea i did the same thing lol. I didn't warm my paint though as i'm repainting the car it did crack a bit but only on the underside.

    If you look threw the project section I'm pretty sure I have pictures in there somewhere of before and after.

    Find and borrow a roller like the one they sell in summit or eastwood. I watched guys at work roll fenders on a $75k BMW with that tool and work flawless. Dont be a hack and take a chance beating it unless its a beater.

    Is there any interest in "going in" on one of the Eastwood fender rolling kits?? If we get 5 guys who need to roll fenders, we each kick $60.
    Including the OP, there are 3 of us in this thread... Maybe we can ask the club to kick in??? Make it a "rental" tool??
