Default Rent/Rolling Fender @ DFW area?

Anybody know where I can rent the equipment locally around the DFW Metroplex area, either that or know a professional shop who can do it for a good price? I don't mind doing it myself as long as I can rent the tool.



:UPDATE:

NEW DATE CHANGE!!!!!!!! IT WILL BE ON THE 13th now on a Saturday and not on the 14th Sunday of September.

Spoke with Jason, said it's cool to do it at his place. He lives in Grapevine Mills area. The date I have selected is September, 13 2008 and it's on a Sunday. The list is almost full, it'll be 8 people at the most that will sign up, and a one day thing even though I can rent the tool for 5 days. You would need to be guarantee/positive that you can make it. I'd say around 9-10am in the morning, and everyone should be done around 4-5pm since I want to take my time (don't want any chip paints do we?). The following prices for each person are from 8 people total. We will be doing the rear fenders only as I've researched the fronts are already rolled. If we have time I might want to try to roll the fronts more anyways since jason said it was possible, same for everyone else, but I"m sure you won't need it (I plan on running a really aggressive low offset/and slamming the vehicle).

Renting for each person = $6.25
Deposit from each person (will get back at the end of the day) = $31.25

I'll be taking care of the tool/picking it up/and also returning it.

The list are the following:

01). quakerroatmeal
02). JasonZ-YA
03). 3hree5ive0ero
04). fithamoto
05). AllstarE4
06). Nihsnek

One more slots and we're full.

It's around 75$ per roll/fender. 300$ to get your fenders roll by the professional. Cost 50$ to rent the same tool the professionals use, split within however many people use it.

When and where is this going to happen? Is it $50 per rental or per hour?

I have absolutely no reason to do this, but if it's that cheap, I might join you guys.

The site I posted, it's 50$ to rent it, 250$ deposit (which will get back when we return), it's a 5day rental. It's going to happen soon, possibly at Jason's or over my house.

Whats the heat gun for ?

Does your paint want to chip & split ?

I would like to do mine if I can pitch in for the rental. You can also use my car for a test try since someone already tried to pound them in.

I think they use the heat gun to soften up the fenders so sudden stress isn't applied to them when rolling them.

So, should we get a list, date, time, count on who all wants to do this, whats the ETA on doing one car... Im assuming were only rolling the rears, no need to do the front right?

If it takes 45mins to do this we may need to rent the tool longer?

The fronts are already rolled from the factory.

Quakerroatmeal said it's a 5 day rental and it's only $50, but that there is a $250 deposit.

Chris is correct, it's a 5 day rental that cost 50$ with a 250$ deposit, and the heat gun is indeed to soften the paint up to ease the roll. It'll be mid September since school is getting ready to start. I'll definitely update the thread with a exact date soon.

Yeah , lets get a list going of who wants to get rolled.

So if I am correct as of now, these are the peeps that would like to have this done & will split the rental cost.

Looks like it could only be costing us like $10 bucks each to have the rears rolled.


01). quakerroatmeal
02). JasonZ-YA
03). 3hree5ive0ero
04). fithamoto
05). Rowlett
06). AllstarE4

I believe jason has his fender rolled already. My name's quang, I go to TCC SE Campus. So it's impossible to roll the front fenders more then it already is? Looking to run aggressive offsets on all sides.
