If any of the group ever needs to roll fenders the roller offered by Eastwood
works great. It bolts onto the hub and has adjustable arc and rolling
pressure. You can easily flare a fender, and, if you are worried for cracking
the paint the deluxe kit has a heat gun to soften the paint and avoid cracking
as you roll. A eighbor bought a set-up which he has allowed me to use.

I had similar issues with my early TR3, and solved it by having the fenders
rolled out with a small baseball bat. It's a simple process that we
probably could have done ourselves, but I chose to have it done by our body
shop
guy because I knew there would be some 'paint splitting' as the result.
Worked slick, and I had some 'touch up' work done at the same time.
