If we have enough people then maybe I'll just buy one and then sell it after we have used it. If I went this route then I'd still want a few bucks to cover the loss on selling it used.

wooden baseball bat is the same thing IMO just push down on the bat in between the fender and tire and it will slowly move the fender.

02TransAm/Batmobile - I'm not to far from Midaway myself.

xpndbl3 - I've seen it done a few different ways. However it tends to be more sloppy and you still run the risk of uneven pressure. I'd rather not take the risk.

I rented one from 69TA a number of years ago, I'd be uncomfortable using a bat no offense Steve.

I have one I will loan out for free if you guys need it. You guys just need to put one guy in charge and call me, that way he is responsible for making sure I get it back. 1-800-406-1109

Jus' trying to keep the cost low. I believe you could rent one from 69TA for 60 bucks and you have to pay to ship it back.

I already went ahead and placed a order for one. I will offer to meet up with people to rent it out locally if anyone still does.
