Have to make room for the big meats
First off the rubber strips go and then it's fender rolling time- the tool has three adjustments- the angle of the derlin head (the roller) the length of the arm and the tension applied to the roller. I used a heat gun (on low) throughout. It was kind of a pain- I could do it quicker now (ofcourse
). I went exra slow and careful- didn't want any cracked paint.
Takes lots of adjusting, but after three hours I got the desired result- the upper lip is now tucked under the wheel arch.
BTW this thing is available for rent- icludes heat gun too- it's $50 (get it for five days) + shipping both ways ~ $25- also have to give a $300 deposit which you get back when they get the tool back. If you had two or three (or more)guys it would be really cheap- shops are charging $150-200 for two fnders!
