Has any one ever used eastwoods fender lip roller? It looks pretty nice but expencive! might have a couple people who want to have theres done and can split the cost. I would just like to know how good it works or if cutting slits in the lip and bending them back is a better option http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=6159&itemType=PRODUCT

does any one have one of theses they want to get rid of?

I am also wondering if you can stretch the fender flare out more after the lip has been rolled all the way? Or does it not have enough leverage?

thanks!!

I used it and it worked awesome. Heat gun and patience!!!! Try checking on your local car forums, you might find someone renting one out. I found one to use for free on a local SVT forum.

XOXBXFX,

Did you have any luck with the fender roller? How did it turn out, etc.? I am interested in it as well and was curious.

Thanks,

Steve

Tell me more about using a bat… I’ve been using an adjustable wrench and a rubber mallet… its not as precise as this tool may be, but I would still like to know how u rolled with a bat.

I cut a bunch of slits in the fender lip, and then carefully hit it with a hammer while holding the outside of the fender. Worked great.

My tire and suspension setup was low enough and wide enough that I couldn't use a baseball bat. It wouldn't fit. I went to a wood supply company and purhcased a 1.5" oak dowel (like used as a closet rod). It worked great on one fender but the other side revealed bondo. I now have a new quarter panel. I got lucky and found this out at the begining of the body work stage. Check for bondo on the fender before rolling!!!!!!!

I used one, it is great. Take your time! Befor you start make sure you dont have any filler or seam seal around your wheel wells.
