Where can I get my fenders rolled?
Can anybody recommend a good body shop? I called a few places, but they didn't know what I was talking about. Oakland area, preferrably.

i remember seeing an article in hot rod when i was about 12 that was all about rolling your fenders by using a baseball bat - you roll it along the top of the wheel while using the tire as the fulcrum point - pointing it up into the wheel well while doing so.
This could be the worst idea in the world, but i did it to one of my old 510's and it worked great - stuffed some 15x7"s underneath it.
Good luck. Err...as for good shops, i dunno, haha.

i rolled mine last night... was not fun at all, but it came out ok, just one little spot that needs some lovin from a dent wizard, but other then that was not a fun experience.

I rolled mine about 2 years ago.. just make sure you cut a nice sharp line with a razon at the point of the bend, that'll prevent your paint from cracking...
then just use a heat gun, support the fender, and roll away with a pipe or a bat..
just remember to take your time..
