Re: Fender modification

eastwood roller is a lot easier but not cheap but you could always do it for others too and make your money back especially around the track.

Re: Fender modification

it is when you take something to roll the rear or front fender to make room for slightly bigger than what will fit tire wise. just look at how the rear quarter is around the back wheels and imagine making it stick out a little farther and a little higher. hope this helps I don't have any pics on my pc.
