fender rolling
well, i got my new wheels on, and i rub really bad. Anyone know of a place that does fender rolling? Called bel red auto rebuild, they said they do it, but cant for like 2 weeks. Car nutz said they can do it, but the charge over 100 per side. hai said he could do it, but it would be a while since he has school. Anyone know of a place? Or is 100 per side a good deal?

What'd you get, anyways?

I can do it for you Drew. Hai and I did it at my house with PVC pipes but I know he's been really busy lately. I think I can do it for you. We'll just take out time and go really slow. Should be no problem.

yea, Alvin should know how to do it. I'm just way to busy this month to help you out sorry. Its really easy though when you take your time. You can even use my pipes and heat gun if you come pick them up. Or just pick up some different diameters of ABS at home depot and a heat gun and you'll be set.

You could almost buy one for 100 per side. My buddy rented one for $60 here in cincinnati and did it himself. It works very well and is easy. Just take your time and make sure you heat up the paint so it doesn't crack.

I've rolled fenders before using pvc and a baseball. The key is to go really slow and take your time. It's actually not that hard, but it helps to have someone there who knows what they're doing.

hence why i didn't want to give them my business. Also, for that prrice, you would figure they would at least guarantee that they wouldn't crack the paint

learned not to do this when i was 16. the fender will tear where you make a relief cut and will show on the front side of the fender due to most of the fender understress due to the bend and no stress at the cut. relief cuts ftl. a cutting wheel is the safest and most precise imo.
