Probably could get enough people together on something like this to make it pretty cheap....

When I was interested in rolling my fenders, EVERYONE told me to stay away from that Eastwood Fender Roller. This is a hell of a project. I interview at least 13 body shop and not ONE would dare touch this project because thay all agreed that you WILL crack your paint. I have since abandoned said project for something more lucrative......the titty-bar, of course!!fireball168 said:

there a guy on the chicagoland mustang boards (he might be on here) with a shit load of show stuff done to his 03 cobra. hes got a realy nice fender roller. if you guys cant get ahold of your guy ray i can find out if i could borrow this one. hes a realy nice guy and im sure hed have no problem letting us use it.
Hey, do you think we could make this a get together? Mainly in part that I also was looking to roll my fenders but I couldn't find a body shop willing to do it, and I wasn't going to buy a $250.00 tool that I was going to use twice then collect dust...I'll pinch some cash if I have to.

I rolled my rear quarters with an adjustible wrench and a heat gun. It turned out perfect and I didn't crack the paint. I opened the wrench up a little more then the thickness of the metal and slid the wrench over the part you want to bend up. Slowly bend the metal up a little at a time while moving across the quarter. It takes some time to do this with perfection but it does work and it didn't cost me anything. Don't forget to heat the metal real good with the heat gun before bending. Also here's another trick get two diff size adjustible wrenches so you can choose which one is more comfortable when bending. Also rap electical tape around the opening of the wrench where you slid it over the metal so it doesn't mar the paint. It will take you a minute to get the adj wrench set right but once you do its free sailing. Good luck and I won't charge anyone for the free info. lololol

I was the first cobra guy around to run that tire, 335 hoosier. Yes you will need longer studs and a 1/2 inch spacer from MM. They are wide but not that much wider then the 315 bfg drag radial. Yes they will rub only on the outside of the quarters if you hit a big pot hole or get a little air off a hill. I would recommand rolling the quarters and yes that is why I rolled mine. My quarters don't hit now. if you can drive the car real slow over hills and watch out for the holes you may be alright.
