Default FENDER shave SHOp

Well I had a body shop shave my fenders but I don't like the outcome of it. Its all messed up. Not a smooth job you can feel the unevenness of the fender.Now I want to go to a real fender rolling shop in S. CAL. to fix what the other shop messed up on. What shop do you guys recommend?

I have a fender rolling machine that I borrowed from a buddy..I will be rolling my fenders soon with the help of Mike (LEXKOST).

I was told by a body shop that if you take your time and do a portion at a time and heat the paint, that it will come out good without killing the paint or the metal piece..

I'll see how it goes..

I'm in SoCal BTW..

Mike

Dremel's not gonna cut it (pun intended), use a sander/grinder.

LS , have different wheelwells ( meaning inner well welded to outer fender and three pieces of sheetmetal together) grinding off will leave a opening (on a 2nd gen) .............On FLIPPU's 3rd gen. we will determine the best way and report back and maybe take some pics.
