Default Do you have Up Close Pics of Rolled Fenders?

I was looking to see pictures of how people have rolled the fenders on our cars? Theres really no good place to stop on the lip. Do y'all cut the lip and then roll it or what?

I know this seems pretty newbie but I have yet to see a fbody with rolled fenders with my own eyes in our area or around houston out of the hundreds of fbods I have seen.

I was gonna post mine, but fast01z28's pics says it all. I wouldnt do it myself though, unless you have the machine to do it.You can take it to a shop and they should do it for like 40 bucks.

yea i paid $50 to have mine done. its a cool roller thing that bolts up to your hub and they make all kinds of adjustments to slowly push it up further.

Which meets do you go to? I did mine and another board member's with a roller and heat gun. Pretty straightforward.

those pics are perfect. I really don't know what else you would need to see. Mine are rolled slightly more up top. All done with an Eastwood roller for free!

I dont think a bodyshop would have it maybe a restoration or hotrod shop would have one. My bodyshop definetly doesnt have one, there are some members on here that rent them, 69TA rents one for $50-60 and its easy to do. I've seen it done with a baseball bat as well, the poormans method.
