Fender Rolling Services Available Soon!

Heeltoe Automotive will soon be adding Fender Rolling Services to Acurazine members. Getting this done is not always very easy. In concept the procedure is simple, but many wheel and tire shops or body shops will not do it due to rist of cracking the paint. Tools available are too costly for single use. Baseball bats work, but do not furnish professional results! To help encourage enthusiasts to go with more daring wheel and tire combos, we are going to initiate tire rolling service!

Regular Price will be $75 per corner, but we will offer an introductory rate once we initiate service. Expect service launch this Spring (07).

Stay tuned! Post questions or comments here or PM me if you have questions.

buy the tool from tirerack or use a baseball bat if you got some balls, not that hard to do.

Why pay tire rack $400 plus shipping for the tool when I will do the whole car for $300? And don't forget, you still need a really good heat gun too.

The baseball bat works fine, but it has nothing to do with balls. It has more to do with the quality of the job when you are done.

very true.

regarding renting the tool though guys, if you dunno how to use it and just try ballsing it... you could fk shit up even with the tool. i've seen friends crack fenders while using the actual roller. its like hell i coulda fkd your fender up with my bat just as nicely

Sure, we can make more room in the front as well. The fender liner can be retained.



On renting....big no on that one. At least initially.

a few yrs ago a group of buddies pooled some $$ and picked up the fender roller tool, and made a gtg/bbq meet at a house outta it. perhaps you east coast guys should do the same

if you can find a decent number of people willing to contribute, you can all get it done
