Dave Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Bought a fender roller a while back to use on my 71. Now that I am finished with it is there any interest in doing a loaner program like I do with the spindle pin pullers? Its not really a for rent program. I am thinking about charging shipping both ways like I do with the spindle pin pullers. __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzeal Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I'd be glad to initiate the Program. I've been considering buying one of Eastwood's, for about $250. With you being so thoughtful and generous, I would get it back to you pronto, with a great big THANKS! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Does this roll it without messing up the paint? If so Id be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go slow and use a heat gun and the paint will survive. http://www.rollyourfender.com/instruction.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pricey piece, so maybe working a refundable deposit into the gig would be a good idea?? Davy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I have an Eastwood roller as well..I must say you are a brave, and generous, man for loaning out tools. I have rolled several cars and I have not been able to keep the paint from cracking on ANY of them. I really roll the fender though, until the lip is flat, I don't just bend it up a little bit. You also have to be careful because the Eastwood roller is strong and can pull your fender out as well without much effort. However that shouldnt be an issue on s30's since hte rear fender well is so strong. This is gonna sound crazy but....If you are repainting you car honestly the best thing to roll your fender with is a 5lb sledge hammer I used it on my 260z and current 240z and it worked awesome (way better then a roller lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treading Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Dave if your are serious and have a list I would sure like to get a chance to use it. I have been restoring a 66 Mustang Coupe (hope this don't offend any Z-guys) and have accumulated some specialty tools so maybe I have something you may need to borrow one day. Everytime I turn a corner too sharp or hit a bump I can hear the rub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Ive used a baseball bat on a 240sx once, did the trick, lol. i done that on my 240sx also...it was lowered 2 inches i think and had 17 inch wheels...just jacked it up a little then lowered it on the bat and heated up the paint while i rolled it...didnt mess the paint up at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 When the list gets started add my name. I rolled/pulled mine on my 240sx with exhaust tubing and a baseball bat, but it's still a little lumpy, I'd like to finish it off. BTW... trick to no cracking is the heat gun. Done three cars only cracked the paint the first time. You have to get it quite warm hot actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treading Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 This post is starting to sound like the fender roller to nowhere. I have never seen this guy make a concrete commitment to anyone. I asked about using it 6 months ago and since have I gotten no response I just rented one for $50. I think he wants somebody to pay his new roller price so he gets his for free. Time is money. I'm rolled and happy without the BS begging to use this guy's stuff. Make it easy on yourself. Rent one for the weekend for $50 or get a bat and roll your own.

Tombarace14 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I bought an eastwood roller awhile back and its pretty nice. I loan it out to people I know and charge them for the use of it. Or I roll them at my shop for more $$ for those that dont want to fool with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgoodson@pacbell.net Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Harbor Freight. Looks pretty close to the Eastwood version but you have to look close with Harbor Freight and sometimes not even too close. Good leed though. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
