Have you used a baseball bat to roll your fender?

A baseball bat.. ?? Can we say "ghetto fender rolling 101"? Please, do yourself and your friends a favor and use a fender roller. I guarantee the outcome will be 100% better, seeing as it is nearly impossible to hold constant even pressure with a baseball against a tire.

You don't need a machine or advanced tool do everything to your car. I know how to shape metal and do body work. Its not very hard to roll a fender. All your doing is folding up a piece of metal...Its not ghetto its called saving money. If the outcome of my projects look fine then how could they be 100% better. A retard can roll a fender without ****ing anything up. You do not need to hold constant even pressure to keep it nice looking. All you need to do is just roll a bit at a time and keep it warm with a heat gun and your paint wont crack.

now if your trying to stretch your fenders then you would need a tool do that.

You can do what you wish. However, a baseball bat wouldn't touch my fender . If it was a proven method that worked just as good as a fender roller itself, then i'm sure the fender roller would not have been invented. Somewhere along the line, someone screwed up and wanted a better way of completing the task at hand .

the good part about the roller (besides precision) is that once you fold/roll that inner lip you can start pushing the lip out for that extra bit of room. This is SUPER hard with a baseball bat.

thats what I meant by stretching your fenders, I wouldn't try that with a bat. I would use a roller for that
