just use a rubber mallet and be patient with it. dont try to roll the whole thing at one time and do it in sections working your way around. the hardest part will be right where the quarter panel meets the part of the door. that part sucks on mustangs. the rest is easy as shit. and no matter what you do your paint will still crack. you can try using a heat gun if you want but it will still crack when it gets cold. just my experience when i have rolled fenders on mustangs.

I wouldn't call that nutriding. Hell if I were him I'd let people borrow it for a fee. There a MANY people around this area that would like to use that I'm sure.

I will probably be one of them.

that tool looks pretty inventive. i know for a fact that it wont do shit on that body seam near the door like i was saying earlier. that part you are gonna need a heavy hammer to bend in. i will post pics of my coworkers car later on tonight to show you what i am talking about. but yea that machine looks like it will roll the fenders pretty even.

oh no doubt i would let people use it.


but not for free. i have so many people come by and want to borrow something of mine, i get pretty irritated honestly. my theory in life is that if i need to use something, i buy it. but of course, i do this for a living too...

Yeah I hate that too. People come into my job wanting to borrow tools to take their batteries out and shit and even though they aren't my tools it gets pretty irritating.

UNLCEBENZ here are two pics. One is a before and one is an after shot.

Before using the roller:
