Eastwood fender roller - anyone got one?

[SilberUrS6]

I'd love to borrow/rent it. I would happy pay shipping both ways, plus rental.

Even though my 205/55R16 tires fit on my car, I will probably want more rubber. And that's ONLY going to happen if I give the front fenders just a little bit of a massage. Not much, just a little.

I'd rather use the proper tool, and not a baseball bat or a dowel. And, I can do a good job, a good looking job, and really take my time on it, and properly heat up the paint, and all that good stuff.

Can anyone help me out here?

TIA!

You can always cut them.

There's a guy on eBay that rents one for $65 + $15 shipping + a refundable deposit. Search for "Porsche fender roller rental".

It is pretty easy to do this with a hammer and a "dolly" (chunk of steel body guys use). Wrap the dolly with duck tape to protect the paint and hammer gently from the inside

Same idea - heat gun and a rubber mallet. Did mine and worked great! As with anything - take your time and don't beat the crap out of it.

Hi Eric,

I had a rubbing problem with my 1973. The car wears 6x16 Fuchs with 205/55-16 tires. I was only able to finally resolve it by going to Turbo Torsion bars and having Mr Gamroth do some suspension adjustments.

I saw that, and that gave me the idea to come here first. I would rather give a Pelican some rental fee that a guy on the internet, right? [irony alert!]

I figured that one of you well-endowed* gentlemen might want to make a little dough with your tool.
