fender roll?

[sahuddleston]

what kind of shop could i go to to get my fenders rolled? im in arkansas and there arent exactly a plethora of wheel and performance shops in the area. could any body shop do it? how should i explain it to them?

[Patrik]

anybody shop can do it.. and to explain it.. say you want your fenders rolled

[Chinky420]

while i dont know personally, i would be willing to be that a half hour w/ a phone book could answer that question.

just call around the local body shops and ask if they do fender rolling. if they don't know what that is, then you wouldn't want to take your car there anyway. if they do fender rolling, then you can get price quotes from all the shops.

Good Luck

A bit expensive for personal use...you could become a fender roller expert !

Or do it the old school way.... use a pipe or bat.


Scott, I saw your pm, I like..... lol

^^^LOL, aw $hit you crack me up.

As said before, any body shop should be able to do it. Ensure they use a heat gun before and while they do it, which will help in preventing the paint from cracking.

I have one of these tools.. easy to use but its expensive.. I bought one to do my fenders and I've done a few others on the boards.

bumping an old topic.

anybody from Toronto/GTA wants to roll fenders?
I'm planning to rent the described above tool and do it myself (CAD 50), so I was thinking to split the rent and do it together with somebody else. Plus it's gonna be easier to do it together: one is heating the fender, the other one is rolling...
OR
if anybody knows a place where they can do it for 50-80 bucks for two rear fenders, I'd really appreciate if you share the contact of such place.
thank you

why dont you do it yourself??

I did it myself, hammering slowly, my arm got tired and it was a workout, but at the end im happy, I more or less did like this guy, but i didnt understand what he said...

I used a baseball bat, worked like a charm..

[Akfahad]

^^x2 as well....I had a shop do it at first, but once I put my spacers on, I just did it myself. Just wait for a hot day and use a bat or an old strut or something similar.

[02slera]

using a bat... im picturing prying the bat on the hub and rolling it back and forth to slowly roll the fender in.?
i may be needing to do this soon, ill probably be doing all new suspension next weekend with lower springs.

a small sheet metal hammer has also worked for me...

I used an old wiffle bat for the front.
