Default Anyone have a eastwood fender roller I can borrow in Socal??

Hey guys, Im doing my suspension today on my SC and I need to roll my front fenders. Anyone here in socal willing to let me borrow their eastwood roller for about 2 hours? I dont want to bust out hammers and mallets There would be a slight incentive as well for letting me borrow it of coarse...maybe $30??

Let me know pls!!

thanks!

I own one. I am in Indiana, but my fender roller has been from Texas to Florida to the Carolinas on loan to other CL members to roll their fenders right and save some coin. Toss me a PM.

I know a place by me that will rent me one for 50 dollars. pricey but its the only place that i know thats local.

Do you want to do a meet in SFV, a fender rolling meet?

I favor the cutting of the fender as well...If you roll, you can chip the paint and make the body wavy in that area

There's two clips that hold the plastic fender arch. If you roll over those, your fenders will be wavy. I suggest cutting them instead.
