Fender Roller

[mossaidis]

Does anyone have a fender roller I can "borrow" rent, etc for a week sometime in late March?

I am in the NYC area.

EDIT: I am NOT referring to a baseball bat... (GREG!) :)

UH uh... I didn't think I needed to preface my request but considering the "IT" clowns here (myself included) I clearly goofed. :)

[Greg Amy]

Hey, I wasn't kidding...OH! You want one of those fancy-schmancy thingies that are nukular-powered, computer-controlled, does all the work for you and gets you a beer while it does it...

...and, in the end, does the same thing as a $20 baseball bat...?

Gotcha.

I grow up in Greece during my childhood and thereafter never had a need for a bat. We used our knuckles in my athens neighborhood. I live with Italian from Staten Island, and she doesn't have a bat. My understanding is italians from staten island use other tools to straigthen things out. The shop I store and work on my car is owned by an italian from Naples... again no bat as he 'claims' to play soccer and uses MMA to straighten things out. I do NOT have a bat! My paint will crack, chip and peel off if I use a bat. I am vein (for my car) and want it to continue to be perfect... after all, it is a Honda.

I have this solid tow hook in the front of my car... it sticks out 8" from my front bumper cover. Guess where it's going? :)

we went the fancy route.. started with a broom handle, then upgaded to a jack handle. Can't even tell i was done unless you look in the wheel well.

Contact the nearest "Tuner/ lowrider/customizer" shop in your area.

I did that on my last build ($20.00 for the day rental ) and the tool is the nuts!!

Everyone else can keep their baseball bats.

I think this is what your are looking for.

It was frequently seen near BMW 2002's a couple years ago when the new Hoosier tires became available.

Thanks all - that eastwood piece is exactly what a friend has upstate and is willing to sell it to me for $200. I will use it once and sell it for $175... and so on goes the saga.

Buy it and I'll rent it from you for $25. Do that enough times and you'll own it for free.

I gave my bat away after I built the NX (swearing I'd never build another car again in my life...:shrug:)

This process is called "Blueprinting the Fenders". I'm pretty sure it covered in the GCR somewhere.

It is Charlie: ITCS 8a "It is permitted to roll under or flatten any interior lip on the wheel opening for tire clearance"

Need lots for Hoosier clearance!
