Fender Roller for rent!

being a college student, I could use a little extra cash for food now and then.
so- my Fender roller is for rent!

$50 for 2 weeks (14 days)

i'll take a $300 deposit, then return $250 to you upon return of the roller. every day late beyond 14 days will be $10 a day.

i'm in NE portland, and I'm not mailing this thing. i definately want to do any renting in person. i will be willing to drive reasonable distance tho, so its all good.

I still need to roll mine and probably my brother's as well but really only need to use it for a day if that, I'm over in SE portland how long does it take to roll them?

I'll be working on my brother's RX7 today at my buddies shop right over by pineapple and hp freaks if you feel like coming down I'd give you $75 just for your troubles. You could probibly stand to make a few bucks as well because their are a lot of us at the shop I hang out at with MR2's and such that would benefit from rolling theirs. I'll be down their around 6 or so I think by 8 or 9 were going to PIR. If you want to do that give me a ring at 503-239-6018 and we can work something out if not maybe some other day or weekend.

IIRC a fender roller is not expensive.

Much easier just to buy/rent one.

yeah, the big ? is if you have the parts and access to the right tools. if you need to farm anything out to a shop, they most generally have a min work charge ($50-75) and then you're already over the $ for using this one for a day...
but it is a neat idea to use an old vw jack.
bumpo.... and a fair price for using a pro tool.

cuz time is too valuable to spend on building tools that aren't expensive.

Thanks!

Had an idea, why don't you get good at rolling fenders and charge a very nominal fee vs just renting out the roller? Pimp out your services instead. May or may not be nominally better. Just an idea.

And just to point out something that was mentioned in that nice big illustration on fender rolling was definitely use gentle heat to get your fender more malleable and your paint and clearcoat more resistant to cracking is probably the one thing I would definitely keep in mind next to stretching and warping your fender beyond repair.

i'll do fenders, but i am concerned about unhappy customers. i dont want to be liable for someones fender if it doesnt turn out as good as they might have expected.
so i will roll them for people, as long as the person is aware of and accepts the risk involved.
i dont do body work, and they might need some finishing, but i should at least be able to do a better job than i did on mine.
