Is anyone interested in doing a group buy for a fender rolling machine? I know, I know, that's what a bat is for but since they have come down in price quite a bit, it would be nice to have one in our ranks.

I'm biased b/c I need to use it but maybe there will be other Dorkis that may need one in the future as well. It lists for $250 therefore (doing the easy math here) if 5 of us get together.... well, you get the picture. Obviously, the more the merrier, or easier on the wallet.

Dave, have you priced getting your fenders rolled at Pitstop Performance? Just curious about their price. Not that I'm going to roll Dino's fenders.

I have, their initial quote was $40 per fender, but according to them it *could* increase depending how much rolling they have to do. I was ready to go through with it too, but then Charlie alerted me to the one I listed.

So I figured that if I'm looking at approx $100 just to get my car done once, I'd rather eat the cost myself and just buy the contraption. I'm sure it will not be the last time I will want to roll some lips... there is a 993 somewhere in my future I was hesitant initially b/c last time I checked those things cost approx $800. As it stands now, if no one jumps in and I get it, the rental fee will be a bottle of Sapphire

Don't be so sure you won't be rolling... once you see a narrowbody w/ 8's it's a look that's hard to resist.... or argue with.

Hehehe! I guess one should never say never, eh?

It sure sounds like the more cost effective approach really is buying that device and splitting the cost among all interested folks (or alternatively just charging them to roll their fenders).

Well, due to the camraderie and general demeanor of all the Dorkis, I could never even *consider* charging anyone... the advice and help, not to mention friendships that I have from Dorki are beyond that.

...but I do get *thirsty* every now and then

Dave, I may be interested in this. If nothing else, you and I can buy it, roll the fenders, and then sell the thing on eBay. But I do know several of us need our fenders rolled (ahem - Ted), so we got to be able to get this into the sub $50 each range.

Sounds good to me Chris. I am not in an extremely urgent rush, (I haven't found my 7's yet), so I don't really *need* to run my 8's at this point, but it doesn't hurt to plan ahead.

Hopefully others will join in, if not, then I'm game to go along w/ your plan.

Dam . . . wish I knew about that thing about 2 years ago

Dave, I'm in let me know how much we'll each need.

[Charlie Stylianos]

Dave,

I'm interested and will contribute what I can.

Cant wait to fit 225 rubber on 7's in the front.

Let us know....

I've got two cars that I would like to roll/pull the fenders on. The first is my '71 911T and the second is a *gasp* 240sx.
