The way out is through

Okay, I talked to Aaron, the tool will be making its way to Reno when Nick comes back from Sacramento. We should be able to have a little fender rolling party at my place Friday evening. I'll have my heat gun to help prevent paint cracking.

The price for tool rental will be $30 per person. Aaron's been gracious enough to donate $10 out of that $30 to the club! I figure we can do like 3 or 4 cars, if there are that many people interested, so post up your name if you want in, and help support the club.

One thing I need to make extremely clear:

Fender rolling, even by an experienced person w/ the right tools *will* damage the paint on your car. You *will* crack/damage the paint on the inside lip of the fender guarenteed. There is also a high likelyhood that the paint on the outside of the fender may be damaged as well. We will have a heat gun that can help prevent the damage, but that also has it's own associated risks. Aaron is loaning out this tool w/ zero liability/responsibility for the damage that will occure. Everyone will be responsible for their own cars, and needs to understand the risk they're taking.

I will be using the tool to touch up my fenders for a little more room in the rear, and I've used this tool before, so you guys can get a look at the damage it does and how it works before making the final commitment to roll your fenders.
