Don't know if I want to try that method on my 91TII. The GSL-SE ok but not the 91.

Again, sorry but I think my 91TII is too nice off a body to do that to it. A mistake would be easy to make.




Thanks for the help but I would rather use a TRUE fender roller unless one of you want to pay me for a paint job if I make a mistake.
Thanks but no thanks.

I used a hammer handle on my 94 silver .It may not be as nice as your 91 but it did not mess the paint . How does a roller work if the fender is not perfectly round and the wheel is not centered in the opening ?

hey gar, thanks for the insite there. I don't think there are to many 7's that are as nice as yours. You have seen the 91 I have.
I just don't want to make one false move and crack the paint.

That is why you use a baseball bat. In places where the fender/tire clearance is a lot, then you work with the fat end of the bat. In places where the fender/tire clearance is tight, then you work the skinny part of the bat.

Be patient, and work it just a little at a time. You need at least 2 people; one to work the bat and one to push the car back and forth.

If you never used a roller it is very nice to have and use. Can't explain it very easy but it works nice.

Still again, if anyone has an actual roller I would be interested in renting it.
