Tony,

I have a 1966 Dodge A100 truck with rolled fenders.

It was done over 20 years ago.

Looks factory.

Didn't know it had been rolled till one day had it parked beside my other A100.


Been thinking about rolling a Festiva.

Thanks for the link.

Heard of it,but,couldn't find it on here how to do it,so,I looked it up and found this.Is this how everyone does it or is there a "homemade" easy way ??

baseball bat a second person pushing pressure down and a driver to move the car.

I have a friend that has that tool in cali, it works pretty good and gives good results.

I used a hammer!!

hammer and dollie? did your paint chip at all and how smooth does this look - or are you Joshing?

I cant remember but I think you can rent them from parts stores

[Biglay5150]

No Joshing here. I just tapped all around a little at a time untill it was flat. I held a piece of wood an the outside for support and hammered away.

Im renting one of those fender rollers this week.... Found one local for $15 per day.... Going to do the Mustang and Festiva as they both will need it with the tires I plan on installing.

I've done the baseball bat method before and will not do it on any thing nice.

My brother bought the tool when he needed to roll the fenders in his Z...

you remember what it ran him?

[SimonTuffGuy]

I think he spent $250 on it!

[jasonpaulbauer]

yeah, the tool isnt cheap.... renting it is definitely reasonable unless you have a bunch to do..... Im doing 3 cars with the one Im going to rent.
