i just used a pvc pipe the size of a baseball bat and got it to roll flat like the last image in the drawing. Use a heat gun to soften the metal. Paint will chip almost no matter what you do so have some touch up ready. Alao using a roller or pipe, youre only going to get abojt the first 80% rolled. The last 20% youll need to just bend it up by hand. And for the rears, since its double layers sheet metal, i just ended up cutting it with a circle saw as oppsed to rolling it up.
I have a jack under the front on the center of the subframe, the oem scissor jack is used since my car is to low for my Snap On jack to get under lol. And I use jack stands if Im going to be under the car. This isn't my first rodeo lol. Eastwood is a tool company that makes a fender rolller. Bolts to the lugs and adjust to roll the lip.

Wheels look great! Can't wait to seem them shod in rubber and mounted on your car.

Ive been slacking on the garage junkie part of my life. But finally rolled my fenders got my wheels and tires mounted and put on the S. Need to raise the car up a bit and get a alignment done, to much camber in the rear for my liking. But I love the setup! Prodrive GC-07c 17x9 +50 square setup with Federal 595 RSRR 255/40/17.

Been awhile. Enjoyed the car as much as possible with the starting issue. So not as much as I would have liked. It’s cold now... So back apart she comes. Ac line ended up rubbing on something and got a puncture, ordered some tucked ac lines and installed them. Had a small oil leak from TCT so ordered a Billmans and replaced that. And finally installed my AEM oil pressure sensor. Then started digging into the starting issue. Have a starter on the way hoping it fixes the issue.
