Rolling a Fender Lip for More Tire Clearance!

[@MORTIFICER]

This was helpful cause all the other videos was doing plastic fenders with a heat gun so I had questions about metal fenders.

[@AllisonCustoms]

Thank you! Glad you found it informative.

Cool,working on a 75 firebird and the rear fender lips on both sides are really bad. This video is perfect instruction for this process. Just don't know if buying this tool for one car is doable. Thanks for the video.👍👍

[@AllisonCustoms]

Thanks! I’ve got a 70 Firebird and love the body style. At under $50 it’s still cheaper than finding a shop to do the work for you.

Just tried this on my 65. Front went real well. The rears I could not get much roll as they are double (fender and wheel tub. But when I watch your rear fender portion, It loooked like you really put some force on it. (BTW we have similar of not the same roller. Is there anything else I should do? or just keep rolling?

[@AllisonCustoms]

Yea, I was pulling pretty hard on the rear. Just keep the paint warm and and go a little at a time. It’ll get there - eventually

[@CheesusSVT]

Very helpful video, Going to try to find a shop that does this... Neat to see how it is done. Appreciate you.

[@AllisonCustoms]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

I wish i could rent one

[@AllisonCustoms]

If you were close enough, I’d loan you one. You’re not wrong though. It’s an inexpensive tool, that you may use a few times in your life.

[@AngelPerez-ug3sl]

Did the fender roller give any problems ?

[@AllisonCustoms]

No, I’m still using it on other projects. Of course it’s used rarely, but that is kinda the reason to buy an inexpensive version.

[@g.austins5508]

What size tires did you run and did you run spacers for the back clearance?

[@AllisonCustoms]

Sorry, but I really don’t remember. I may have mentioned them in one of the videos about suspension or rolling the fenders. Although I do know there were no spacers.

[@slickrickjones]

So I just got the same roller and I don’t know what the hell I’m doing wrong! When I screw the rod that is supposed to put more pressure between the roller and fender, moves it farther away from the fender. I can’t put pressure on it

[@AllisonCustoms]

Odd, I would have to see what you are doing to help. Maybe post a video??

[@slickrickjones]

@@AllisonCustoms okay I’ll try. But when I screw in the rod that makes the roller closer to the fender (pressing against fender), it does the opposite and goes the opposite direction.

[@Rudderify]

Try turning the rod in the opposite direction. Maybe the threads are right hand instead of left hand

[@badharryshideaway3665]

What size tires are on the front and back?

[@AllisonCustoms]

I don’t recall for sure, but I think I remember them being 235/50-17
