Me too, how do you plan to roll them? I'm kicking around just renting the tool off of ebay somehow. I gave an attempt at the baseball bat method, and it just doesn't seem like it will work too well. I'd really like it rolled completely flat, maybe seam sealer behind it.

I want to rent a tool as well. I also thought about making slices with a die grinder and using a body hammer to GENTLY tap them over.

Make sure you roll fenders well before doing the body work! I've seen more than one car owner roll femders only to find out he's got bondo on the fender and it cracked or popped out when attempting to roll the fenderwell! If that happens after paint or bodywork it would really hurt!

That is what I am thinking too, do it well before bodywork. I'd like to do it in such a way that I don't have to hammer it though, it really depends on what the tool costs. I think if I remember correctly, it is like $280 down, it costs like $35 for like 5 or 6 days or something, then returned gets you your money back excluding the $35. Shipping time is not included in the rental time limit.

I hadn't thought about rolling mine. There fine with my wheels now but maybe I should do them in case I want something a little fatter later.

No I don't think you will have to do that at all. It should fit no problem.
