Fender Rolling....
Anyone have any experience? Special tools needed? tricks? Suggestions?
Do it myself or is this better left to a pro? This will be done on the rear fenders of a 03 Mustang. |

Re: Fender Rolling....
How nice it's going to look will depend on your experience and tools.
If you just want something quick and totally do not give a fuck (which I know isn't the case here), you can just slap the wheels on, shove a baseball bat between the tire and fender, and roll away. Yes, it'll get the job done, but it will also look like absolute shit (and trust me, I know; this is how I rolled my rear fenders). You can buy fender rollers (such as the Eastwood fender roller) for a more professional look, but be prepared to practice on a junker car before you do it for real. If doing it yourself (with a roller), basically remember to go slow, and apply heat to the fender (to minimize/prevent paint cracking). I'd only recommend rolling your fenders yourself if it's not going to take much to get your tires to clear without rubbing; and even then, make sure to practice plenty beforehand to make sure you're confident in what you're doing. It's going to take a long while to roll your fenders properly (since you're ideally going to roll the fender in very small increments between checking wheel fitment) without paint damage or causing waves/ripples in the metal. It also couldn't hurt to call around to see how much a body shop would charge to get your fenders rolled :) |
