Quick question-
I have heard of using an aluminum bat to roll the rear fender lips... Anyone tried this? Do you just jamb the bat between the fender and the tire and just have someone roll the car forward or what? Does it just roll the inner fender lip without screwing up the exterior of the car? Any other ideas on how to do this?
Reason I ask is that I would like to put some 17" rims on my car with a rear disk brake conversion (which requires the fender lips to be rolled!)
Thanks!
