Fender rolling party this spring

i plan on rolling my fenders this year , i have a heat gun.....and know there are a few guys with fender rollers on here that will rent theirs out so......

does anyone want to plan a day to get together to share cost and have an extra set of hands rolling theirs?

also if anyone has done this before maybe they could show up as well

thanks , and let me know if interested in planning a roll day and i will look into getting a roller and try to set this up

 

I'll bring my baseball bat!

 

that would work to , just need a hand keeping some heat on the fender while rolling

 

count me in

 

great to see interest , i am thinking around the end of april , would also need to decide on a suitable location , someplace with electric and a little bit of room , my apt. wont do.... , i guess i should have put this in the event forum

 

If your paint cracks at all, even if it is minor, repair it asap. I didn't think it would be a big deal when mine were rolled and now rust is eating all 4 fenders

 

thanks for the info...would a light sanding and touch up paint be enough?

 

^^ I would think. Anything is better than nothing. Just keep a close eye on it and if it starts to rust fix it before it's too late. (or too spendy)

 

I would be interested as well. Will keep watching this thread as you look to put a date together.

 

I just rolled my kids fenders on his 93 legacy. No paint crackage, used a heat gun and a fender roller. Just took our time 1/2 hour on the drivers side and 45 minutes on the pass side (I think there must be some reinforcement of some kind on the pass side with the fuel neck there...was a little more stubborn). But we measured and believe we picked up and extra 3/8" on each side, which for him running +38 offset 17" wheels, was all he needed.

 

PM me when you guys are doing this. It sounds like a good option for the Mini Meet forum.

 

Sounds like a good idea. Definitely interested. How many hands is too many? Is ~hour/car typical?

 

so i will be sending out pms tonight about the roller, iirc map and 1 other member have one , so as long as i can rent it we are good to start planning , so far it looks like the weekend of april 17th or may 1st is best for me, i am busy the 24th of april , once i have the roller for sure , i guess we will just need to pick a day/location. opps..yes this should be in the mini meet area , i just was gauging interest and didnt know how to go about it , i just want it done on my car and figured some others may want to get it done to , again thanks for your interest and i hope this comes together , and i dont FAIL!!

 

got a pm back from aspitfire(SP) , its a go , the dates i have posted will work for me , but anyone who may have a conflict can add input on a day for this , he rents it for $20/day/car , but said he could do a group discount , so it may end up being a little cheaper

need to pick a date that works for those interested , and come up with a suitable location....suggestions


also , can a mod move this to the events/mini meet section , thanks

 

Just let me know man, If you guys get a bunch of people together we will cut you a good deal for everyone.

 

^thanks will do , i have started a new thread in the mini meets / events forum for those interested to discuss this further

 

Id be in, I dont even need it but i wouldnt mind being prepared for new summer wheels
