Hey QWKRN-U, can you tell me a good way to roll the inner lip on the rear quarter panel.

hey gus,

there's a tool specifically for this - it bolts to the lugs and used that as a fulcrum to roll the lip evenly. you can probably rent them at any tool rent-all type place.

some guys say stick a baseball bat btwn the tire and lip and get a buddy to push the car forward while you hold the bat. everyone i've heard from says this is a real good way to put a dent in your fender and not a good way to roll the lip properly

The tool is made by Eastwood and there is a guy on the GTAMC that rents one out.(not sure if hes on CMOC or not) I have heard the tool works very well and if you heat the paint on the lip with a heat gun it will keep it from cracking while you roll the lip.

I did mine with a hammer and dolly while I was doing the body work and paint on the car, so I wasnt too worried about chipping the old paint.

June 2008 5.0 Mustang and Superfords mag has a story on how they fit a 315/35ZR-17 on a 17x10 rim with 6.4 BS on the back of their '86 T-top coupe using a couple of different BFH's and the eastwood lip roller.
Interesting story
