I don't but I'm planning on it, in relation to the lowering I will be doing. MNMazda does it yearly as a meet, but they have the roller, and a body mech in their group. I'll keep you informed on when they do their next run this spring, and see if they mind an extra ride or two.Unless you find someone on here... that would be cool too.
I know O2 had Chromies done, I believe, but he did the baseball bat methyod? i dont remember, long time ago talking about that.
*not that we might not have that, just what I know*

Why not?

I may need to roll mine. My fender is tearing up my tire in the back.

The baseball bat method works great if you know what you're doing. I've done it on hundreds of street rods, muscle cars, etc. without a problem.

i was wondering his specific reason

rolling or flaring. are we talkin? my rear is flared (no goatse jokes) involuntarily

So, just to clarify: You have an involuntarily flared rear?

ugghhh
Wish I were a mod right now....

Jesus H Gein, get rid of it!

Back on topic....how do you roll fenders with a bat? Aluminum or wood? How do you keep it smooth?

Chromie's fenders were rolled, but not with a bat. We used a better method. The Wagon I got lazy and rolled them with a bat. If you don't know what your doing, I don't recommend it.

The best method would still be a fender roller if you have access to one.

that's right... my bad.

there's some vids on youtube. i've been looking into flaring, i'm thinking of getting some wider wheels but still using the beefy tires.
