Looks like I need to roll my front fenders. ...how?
 
Is this hard to do? Does the paint usually crack?

I have 16x7's up front w/ 205x55x16's and it appears they caught the lip of the fender.

no damage really yet to tire or fender paint and I'd like to keep it that way

All of a sudden? Whtat changed?

205/55/16 is the stock size for an SC. Rather than roll the fenders, consider a lower profile tire. I run 225/45/16 and have a VERY low ride height. No rubs at all.

Don't the 74-77 cars have narrower fenders than the stock SCs?

Some use a bat and some just pull. Lots of threads on this topic. Or you could just do as MikeZ has suggested.

No, an aluminum bat works better than a wooden one, do put some protection on it.

There is always that danger, heat the area first to minimize or better yet cut them off, w/ a saw or gind them off, leaving just a thin rib at the edge.

All '74-'89 use the same fenders, w/ minor bracketry changes. Some of the later cars had rolled lips from the factory.

Rolled mine with a wooden bat at the track....didn't crack the paint at all.
