na sorry i was doing it but no one wanted to rent it, so i used it on my silver civic and ended up selling it on ebay. so i dont have it anymore....

just look on ebay for a used eastwood fender roller. they are almost always on there used for ruffly 200bucks, just buy it use it and slap it back up for sale on ebay and get most of your money back. quick and easy!

I think i might get a tube, wrap the end with duck tape and roll the inner lips with that.


Unless some one out there can give me a better solution?
What you should actually use is a wooden baseball bat. Wrap it in a garbage towel tshirt. use a heat gun or hot hair dryer to heat the fenders.... and roll.

ya with a pipe... thats not to gentle
with the money youve been throwing down on this bad boy you can invest 200bucks for one week, roll the fenders and slap it on ebay for a 10day listing with a BIN price and get most of your money back since main thing youll be loosing if you buy one already used will be the shipping to and from you.
i put mine on ebay and it was sold with BIN within 24hours of posting the auction

Why not cut them slightly and paint the exposed metal portion?

^ he wants the wheels on it, I wouldn't get that small of wheels (or tire tread for that matter) with that motor anyway.

What have you done with the power steering/AC? I'm assuming being in NY you aren't running AC, but is there room to keep it in?
