Fender roller

[jaywood]

I remember there was a thread a few years ago and there were pics of a "DIY" fender roller. The pics on that thread are now expired :( ...I am going to be making my own roller and was just looking for a few ideas...

Post up pics of your diy rollers.!

Is that one you built jaywood?

Buy one off ebay/craigslist. Use it then sell it or rent it when your done with it. People are always looking to rent one for ~30-50$.

[jaywood]

I did not build that...I just posted it for some ideas. I saw it on another thread on vortex or something....


I am going to build something similar

Honestly, having used the eastwood one and the wooden baseball bat one. I would still go with the bat.

Get yourself a wooden baseball bat and saw it in half and a tapered rake handle and do the same. Get 2 people to push the car while you roll and guide the wood along the tyre. This method gives you more control and tends to do less damage to the paint and the outside metal. It also gives you better leverage when you are doing the rears where you have double metal.

Hey man, my girlfriend has a fender roller. I am sure she would rent it to you or let you borrow it.

Really? Send me a pm. I am interested...

For anyone who has a fender roller...

Could you please take a quick measurement for me? Please?

How long is it when it's at its shortest length? How long is it when it's fully extended?

hey dude when you make the roller let me know so you can roll my fenders

[jaywood]

Ok!

So this is the measurement I am looking for...fully extended and fully closed
