Anyone know how much it costs (+/-) to have fenders rolled?

Also what do the serial numbers on a T5 translate into? I want to put a WC T5 into my 65 2+2 and always see people asking about the serial numbers.

Whatever it costs get it done or your going to be dealing with this.
They have the tool that you can rent and do it yourself if you wanted to give it a shot, just take your time if you do and roll just a small amount at a time. These are something you really want to work up and in very slowly.
There is a recent post on this the last week or so you can look up as well for more info.

THat pic there....did they use a heat gun. Man that would suck. I'm in the same route as having to roll after the car has been painted. To say I'm scared is an understatement. I plan on using the tool and a heat gun w/ some guys that have done numerous lip rolls. But there is always that what if.

No heat gun used, I pulled it out really bad backing up a few weeks ago, lip was facing straight down it was that bad.
I don't think a fender roller would have helped at that point, it was to much angle to return without damage.
I rolled it by hand with a 1" pipe the best I could then pounded it back in place.
I was actually pretty surprised the lip split open like that afterwards.

I posted that pic to show why not to wait to do it after the larger tires are on or paint. It's not a repair I can't handle but since it was avoidable I'm kinda PO-ed.

There's been some good posts here lately about fender rolling, I'd be worried though with that heat gun but it's no doubt nessesary to soften that paint.
Good luck w/ yours, practice w/ that heat gun if you decide to do it yourself on another object to get used to it and take lots of time doing the rolling.
