Title: Fender roller Post by: landstuhltaylor on March 27, 2016, 11:02:17 PM Anyone locally have one or know of a shop that does? At the very least I need to roll the rears, might just use a sledge on the front.
Title: Re: Fender roller Post by: Miniata on March 28, 2016, 02:08:11 AM Back when I wanted to roll the fenders on my Miata the Eastwood fender rolling tool was something like $250, so I bought a kids Louisville Slugger wood baseball bat for $15, grabbed my heat gun, and went to work. Ended up working very well, didn't crack the paint at all, and had enough of a roll to fit the wider tires when I had it slammed. The Eastwood tool is down to $120 now, and the knockoff is $60 at Amazon. If I were to do it now, I'd just spring for the $60 for the knockoff tool on Amazon.

The baseball bat was my method on the Civic. But, I didn't give a rat's patoot about the paint so I didn't bother with the heat gun. There is beauty in those cheap cars.

Title: Re: Fender roller Post by: WrxRcr on March 29, 2016, 09:54:49 PM I have a roller. I know from experience though that a lowered s2000 is incapatable.
Title: Re: Fender roller Post by: landstuhltaylor on March 30, 2016, 10:03:28 AM Any idea if it will work on a 98-02 Camaro? Bolt pattern is 5x4.75. The car doesn't run right now so I was either hoping to borrow it or once it's back together bring it somewhere.
Title: Re: Fender roller Post by: BirdBoy on September 05, 2017, 08:08:51 AM I have a roller too. I can bring it at the next OVR autocross event if you're interested.
