Fender Rolling Needed

My guy says his tool isn't the best for the job. Can anyone recommend the best shop for this on a P car? Maryland prefered, Thanks.

Steel hammer and beanbag works well too

Just picked up my buddies Edgewood Roller, who did Gunther's car. Turns out he had to modify the mount plate to accommodate the P bolt sizes. Will try it out later tonight or in the morning.

No, just changing tires from ps2s to Hancooks. Goiing from a 315/25 to a 305/30 makes me slightly taller this round.

sounds like a plan...will have to check em out if we both make it to Katies CnC tmmrw morn.

the roller you have if its a pro grade one should roll the inner fender lip nicely for you without cracking the paint or damaging the pinch weld. I'm too nervous to do it but I've seen guys do it perfectly and I've also seen botched jobs that ended up at the body shop. My advice - take your time and go about it nice and carefully and you should be set

It really isn't hard. I've watched them do it on three of my cars. Edgewood even has an easy how-to vid up. We shall see.

Skipped Katie's this morning so I could stay home and roll a couple of fattys. Fenders!

Overall I am very pleased with my skilz. Started on the passenger side and worked my way back. Everything went well, except that when I got closer to the rear-most point where the two bends meet, I was a little too agressive and I can see a dimple or two. Otherwise, after learning on the passenger side the driver side is perfect. You do need to take your time and relax. You will want to just roll and press harder and harder with each roll. Great tool, big thanks to Billy at Burnt Mills for letting me borrow the Eastwood Fender Roller!
