Default Need help with springmount mod and roll fender

Hi guys,

I really want to get the springmount cut and the fenders rolled but don't have the tools to do it. Therefore, I was just seeing if someone might be able to help me out (for beer or cash of course). If anyone has done this and would like to help me out, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Your car would look much better with just a little more droppage.

^ he was there last night @ PZ but left early. That half an inch drop made a huge difference.

Be sure to measure before you cut b/c my passenger side is a little bit higher than my driver side (vice versa). It's barely noticeable but you can see it if you look close enough... don't make the same mistake I did
