RE: Fender rolling

["Kirk Meline" <kirkm@zeta-idt.com>]

Well the first thing I tried is the Tire Rack's high tech cool looking
fender roll tool.  You can rent it for nothing if you want to wait a few
months.  Ten minutes in I found out it belongs on a shops wall to never be
used again.  The hammer did the job just fine.  No much paint left on the
inside but who cares.  My new panhard makes sure it will not be an issue.

That is the common "CP" tool to use, the bigger the better. I used a BFH
on my Camaro to get the 315's on 17X11's to fit without rubbing on the
inside or outside of the rear fenders. You must keep your itty bitty
fingers out of the way and you cannot miss your target!! Work your way
front to back little by little. ;^)) Good luck!!
