far, other side of the country in Oregon.
I am just trying to avoid buying one but I don't want to pay 1/5th of the price just for a rental at that point i will buy it and resell it or rent it myself for less $$$ than those already out there doing so.
You get yours from eastwood?

Yup Eastwood! I figured I need it done, I know one other person that needs it, so I can either rent it out locally or just do the rolling for people for like $75 (Shops around here charge over 100) and if I get 2 people other then myself, it just about pays for itself. A third would put me on the plus side.
i need one for my 300zx in LI. maybe we can meet next month diesel and i can throw some money your way and borrow it. maybe a photoshoot is in the works too. i still havent been to a gsquad meet as im away at college most of the year so i would like to meet you guys some time this summer

Diesel I pulled the trigger and ordered one should be here tuesday.
Then I can toss on my 350z suspension and roll the fenders at the same time.

The Ferrari shop that rolled the fenders on my friend's BMW actually heated the fender before they rolled it!

k well my reasoning is just that most people who know enough about fender rolling to know that there is such a thing as a specialized fender roller tool know that you are supposed to use a heat gun to keep paint from cracking.
However, the vast majority of autmotive enthusiasts don't even know about fender roller tools at all and this includes the majority of body shops as well.
