Re: 1965 Ford Mustang

Ever rolled a back fender on a painted mustang? Holy hell what a nerve racking pain in the ass. I knew I would tear the hell out of the actual lip, there would be no helping that. There are two layers of metal that overlap and they're crazy thick. The eastwood roller could do NOTHING with that lip. I was able to work the front fender but not the rear. I had to take a small cresent wrench and grind most of the backside away to fit and roll in the fender. Once I had a good start, then the eastwood roller could be used. So this would obviously cause a lot of paint damage. It did. But only on the inside/backside of were the fender was rolled. This area will be scuffed, masked, and painted black.

You can see from the 1st and 3rd pics how much clearance I gained. Now my fatties in the back can stop scrubbing the back on hard bumps (new springs and shocks will help too).
