fender rolling??

[Painter]

My new combo rubs on the new tires I have and I was looking to roll my fenders somehow. I have talked to many bodyshops and no one wants to do it for fear of cracking paint and stuff. Any ideas guys????

Eastwood or another company makes a tool for rolling the fenders. Other people use a baseball bat. You just have to be sure to heat the paint some to prevent the chipping. Fox bodies rolled pretty straight, they had a nice sqaure edge. I think 99+ might work just as well. The 94-98 were just a curved edge and I'm nervous to try mine.

Another suggestion that someone for me was to have a body shop use sheers and cut the lip off and then will the gap with body filler or some type of chauk to prevent rust.
