All I can tell you is be careful when rolling. a lot of the fender's strength comes from the right angle formed by the fender lip.



As you can see from the pic, my roll is incremental. where the metal folds, it's not a perfect "crease". This would greatly compromise the strength of the fender. Also be ready for paint chipping.
