Fender Rolling and Pulling

[Tonys18t]

I did my sister's fenders by hand because she has a w124 as well and you were definitely right, way better results. I took my time and heated it up plenty, came out great. Thanks again for the tips, much appreciated!

glad it worked out man, sometimes doing the job oldskool is the best way.

4 thumbs up for Tony! Highly recommended, and you'll be in and out in a jiffy.

Hey Tony, it's Jason with the Red A3

whats up dude, thanks, car is looking amazing as usual

Im using the Eastwood as well, may have been because it was a salvaged car.

That car above is beaauuttiffulll

hmm, doubt the suspension can be that far out, PM me some pics if you can, sounds like a challenge.

Hey man was wondering if you had any pictures of some civics you have done? preferably civics like in my sig. i had problems rolling the front in my 4 door im guessing because of the welds.

I've done a lot of civics of all models, i'll see if i can dig out some pics.
The fronts are normally fairly easy, its the tabs that hold the fender liner you have to be careful with. i have a few tricks for getting round them

wow.
ill pay for your flight, if ya wanna come down to florida and do a couple cars.

so many people ask me to fly out to places, i may well do it one day

Is that red A3 shopped?
I've never seen one that tucked like that.... wow I love it.

Nope, its not shopped. the thing is bagged and he drives it at pretty much that height.

Its a pretty easy car to work with, you just have to be careful with the fender roller because the cars have squared off fenders, not perfect round arcs like most cars. also the front fenders curve in a fair bit before they meet the bumper. I always prefer to work them by hand, old skool style, you get a much better job that way.

Been working on a lot of classics/muscle cars lately.

Pro Touring 68 Camaro running 19s, still needs paint though



before rolling pic of a Big Block 70 Nova getting ready for 15x12s on the rear



my buddy Kurt the collector's mint Ranchero shop truck





other stuff

...yes, its a Camry



Mazda Speed with perfect fitment



Even old Acuras can look cool

I ran into some problems where the roller was too far from the fender, do you have to use spacers with the roller often? This was with a 350z. I just started rolling so I want to know what cars have quirky things about them

Which roller are you using?

I dont think i've ever had to use a spacer because the roller would not reach the fender lip. sometimes spacers and adapters have to be used to match PCD or clear bore sizes.

The 350Z is a fairly straight forward car to roll/pull with practice, Actually did on yesterday ... it was a bit of a rescue mission, but thats another story, lol



With 350Z and/or Nissan G coupes ( essentially the same thing ) you have to be careful not to curl the fenderlip out when rolling, they have a fairly tall stock outer fender lip which is easy to ripple and curl.

Just take your time and work carefully.

Heres a G35 with the Eastwood, i use the Eastwood most of the time.

Dooooooo it

After seeing that gen2 MS3, I can see how it would look when I eventually go low. I may have to travel or research someone nearby or at least in the same state to get it done right and looking good the first and only time.

If you have bad or uneven welds, rolling the fender lip flat wont help. it might actually do more harm than good.
