    no really.
    Get two "Large" friends to sit on the fender and slowly roll the car forward with the bat between the fender lip and the tire.

    As the car rolls the bat will bend the lip up, a couple p***es and it looks like a professional job and won't cost anything...

    Only use a wood bat though.

    Yup. Seen the baseball bat trick a few times. It looks like a joke when you start, but a pro job in the end!

    Make sure you clean any rocks or **** from the inside of the lip first...

    If you use the baseball bat technique make sure you video tape it for all of us to see.

    I have both tools...... Eastwood fender roller, and louiville slugger !
    1 works real fast , results are kinda hard to control. The other is slower but the results are way more predictable and consistent..
    Any guesses ?? LOL !
