Eastwood Fender Roller for rent. Not sure if this is really the correct forum for this, but since the topic originally arose here I thought I'd start back here again.
A couple of months ago I had inquired about experiences with the Eastwood fender roller. At that time I received a bunch of comments/questions with regard to renting it out. I wasn't really planning on renting it out at the time since I figured it would be a hassle and I didn't want it damaged/stolen. Plus I didn't know what sort of quality I was going to see from the roller. Well, as it turns out the roller worked so well for me I couldn't have been more pleased. Now its just sitting in my garage - of no use to anybody. I figured I'd go ahead and offer it for rent if anyone's interested since I probably won't be using it again anytime soon.
If you're interested please send me a PM or an email. Just be aware that it'll be first come, first serve and I only have one, so if there is more interest it might require a waiting list. I plan on renting it out on a weekly basis. Again, contact me if you're interested or want pricing information.
Thanks,
Joe
Here's a pic of the roller for reference:

Thanks for the PM's, responses have been sent.
GM Muscle,
That pic was just a mock-up showing how the roller looks and attaches. It was taken prior to actually doing the rolling. There was no flaring of the outside fender whatsoever. I was concerned about that very thing before I started so I took the first fender really slow. The lip seems quite strong, but honestly the roller makes short work of it. I was impressed. I was able to bang out the other side in about 10 minutes. I wouldn't even consider anything else after using this tool.
Here are a couple of before/after pics that may show the fender more clearly. I apologize for the picture quality. Unfortunately I'm not yet part of the digital camera age.
Here's before:
And here's after:
For reference, these ^^ are 10.5" wheels with an effective 48mm offset (53mm + 5mm spacer) and 295/35/18 Michelins. I'm lowered about 1-1/2" with Hypercoils.

I'm running the same springs with 315s. My passanger side tire will rub on a hard launch so I need to roll the lips. My buddy owns a tire shop and I'm going to check to see if he has a roller, if not I'll deffinatly shoot you a PM about renting yours.
BTW: Pic quality looks pretty good to me.

Thanks, Barry. Glad to hear it worked well.
ZEEMAN,
At stock ride height I wouldn't worry about rolling. Whether you need the BFH depends on your offset with the 18x10.5's. If you have a less aggressive offset (like 56-58mm) then you may have to do some BFH. If, however, you have a 53mm offset or smaller, you'll be fine.
