Got the camber dialed out to ~-1, pulled the crap out of the fenders:





I am going to pull it just a hair more and dial it out to nearly 0...



I did a little write up on my blog, lol: knoop.sumospeed.com

Woah, iphone camber app lol. I noticed from your build thread that you painted the interior+bay, are you gonna do the outside too or just leave it be?

The outside will be completely redone and I'm doing the wheels in a different color scheme as well. It'll be a little louder but I'm not using any neon colors or anything like that.

I guess this is as good a place to ask, doesn't pulling the fenders create more gap in the panel seams? With old steel bodies, we'd hammer (stretch) some parts to pull flares because just taking a baseball bat to them would create some horrendous door gaps. Do fender 'pulling' machines really make that much of a difference? how?

I am not sure if I've done it on enough different kind of cars to say for sure. On 240s I can do it pretty well. You just have to heat the entire quarter panel up a whole lot, on the inside and outside, then just keep the pressure on it rolling back and fourth. I've had fenders buckle or get a slight wave in them depending on how thick they are. I've never had the metal separate on me though. I just always recommend pulling before getting any major body work done, because I am never really sure what will happen to the body.
