Bel Air weekely meet thread
To roll the fender you basically roll the lip of the fender under you have more clearance so the sidewall of the tire can come closer to the inside of the fender without rubbing if your REALLY slammed. It also just allows for a "better" offset and more tire.
As far as doing it, you can do it yourself with a baseball bat and heat gun if you want. I rolled my lips like that and you cant tell they arnt professionally done. But you can also buy a tool that mounts to your hub with the wheel off, and you heat the fender and turn a crank and it rolls the fender that way.

Yea, i think i made it sound a little worse than it actually is. Just some pressure and you bend the lip under, thats all. you can do it with your hands if you can handle the heat of the fender lol. It did make me laugh with the picture of sicks swinging for the fences on his fender because i told him i did mine with a bat.

Hmmm wonder why it would be gettin taken apart?? lol
and nope wrong. i didnt actually roll my fenders i cut the inner lip out that you normally bend in for a cleaner look. then after that part is cut out it is sealed up so it doesnt rust or anything. usually when the fenders are rolled the paint is bent so it cracks and can peel.
Richards Body shop off york road in Towson did it for 150 bucks. Ray at LMS sent me there and they did a great job. thats where ill be going again.
if anyone has any questions let me know on thursday.

Project destory all evos! Im coming for you show!
Lol only kidding...Actually, i have been having cooling problems ever since i had the car, thought it was my thermostat, changed it, thought it was my rad cap, changed it, then my fan relay, changed it, and after all of it, i did some investigating to find my headgasket may be leaking...Sure enough the next day the car wouldnt start. So i pulled the plugs out to find cyl 1,2, and 4 all doused in coolant. Changed them, fired it up and had coolant spitting out the side of the block. So needless to say, my headgasket was leaking for a while, and finally took the big dump. Kinda crappy but it happens. I plan to have the car back on the road in 3-4 weeks...since while i have the head off im gonna do the springs/retainers/valves to get rid of my tapping.
Mabye ill stop by in the jeep tommorow lol.

Oh I thought when you roll a fender, you actually enlarge the wheel well curve itself a bit. That's why I was like wtf? Your way makes a little more sense. And $150 for that isn't bad at all to get them professionally done. Looks like after the exhaust, rims are next
I dunno if anyone is interested, but they have a BADASS X for sale up at that new dealership on bel air road...its called Showcase i think...its a blue X, Volk Ce28ns in black, with a badass offset, ARC titanium knob, defi boost guage, AEM A/F guage, Exhaust. Didnt see anymore but i looks awesome with the wheel setup...they are asking 34k.
