    Fender Roller needed.

    Hey guys, just posting this here for more views at the moment. Mods if you could leave this here for a little bit.

    Anyways, I need to borrow a fender roller as soon as humanly possible. If anyone has one I will pay for shipping, and I'll send a deposit if I bust it or something.

    Just let me know who has one.

      Dan: Check the Mid-atlantic section on Bf.c for one. I know there's been talk for a while about somebody getting one and having a fender rolling party.

      When you do aquire one, let me know, I will be needing mine done too, although it's not life threatening for me.

          Why don't you just use a baseball bat and be careful? You can wrap rags around it to make it a little easier on the metal - use a wooden bat NOT a metal one. It's super easy. There have been many articles on this topic in recent Roundel issues. AFAIK it can be done in ~20 minutes with a bat.

          How much space are you trying to gain?

            Well if I could find a roller it would be nice, but actually a bat was the next idea, and I will be repainting so cracking isn't a big deal either. Just want to space it out not too much, keep it stock looking, but enough to make space when I put my wheels on so I can go lower.

            Also, any writeup for bat-rolling? I'll check for the Roundel issues, but any other links would be awesome, thanks again man.

              Roll em with a pair of vice grips and a hammer like they do in the trailer park.

                  One of the BFc regulars owns one he loans it out at a 40 bucks a car. Can't remember who it is but they live up in ypur direction.

                  Need to roll them for the new wheels, finally gonna mount them instead of them sitting in the garage?
