+1 for Oleg, he's a very good all around mechanic and has done a crapload of fenders.

Speaking of rolling fenders, Oleg, next time you roll a fender how about shooting the fender with an IR thermometer and let us know what temp you use during the roll. Of course that my be proprietary info but if not it'd really help because that's the toughest part of rolling the fenders is keeping them hot but not so hot to burn the paint.

They're like $8 now so everyone should have one in their track bag:

(this is for general consumption, not directed toward Oleg)

What's your oil temp? Don't know because of the goofy stock gauge so shoot your oil pan after a session (you'll freak when you see how high it is [not you Oleg, I'm pretty sure you have an aftermarket gauge]).

Is my left rear brake caliper dragging? Shoot it and compare it to the right rear.

Is my right rear wheel bearing making that noise and about to go out? Shoot it!

Shoot it!

Sorry, I was exaggerating. $30 at Harbor Freight is the cheapest I could find at $30 too.

Sold my fender roller to another Mid-A guy (if he/she wants to post up, they can)
