There are different methods depending on exactly what you want, your abilities and/or pocket book. But this might give you some idea. Remember this is for a dedicated track car. There are some aspects of this that IMO wouldn't really be suitable for a car driven on the street in all weather....

I feel like he might have meant pulling the actual rear quarter panel. If so Ken from ShineAuto talks about it a little here.

You use a fender roller and a heat gun and slowly work the metal into the shape you want, the angle you set your roller at determines the general shape and angle of the flare/pull. Unlike rolling the fenders, pulling or flaring them often leaves the car needing paint and minor body work to smooth out the flare.
