So could you roll the fenders pretty easily on the 944's? I remember whats his name rolled his fenders on his 928 and he just used a dowel (literally rolling the car back and forth smashing the dowel between the tire and fender). Sounds like a nice 30 minute investment to me.

I rolled my rear fenders, you need heat as well. I used an acutal fender roller, was pretty easy. You must take your time thou. Patience is key.

Those wheels look like they stick out a decent amount. I'm not a fan of that. Don't plan on lowering your car at all either. Lowered car > huge tires.

Some people on the list get together on a regular basis and develop close friendships. Some are closer then others.


I give Jeremy a bit of grief just to try to keep him humble. It's not an easy job but someones gotta do it. It's not easy 'cause his ego is bigger than his body.


He's earned it though. He knows these cars(and other cars) inside and out, he opens his home and garage to guys in the Phoenix area just about every Saturday, he'll help anyone fix anything on these cars(even jerks like me), he even lent me one of my cars when I couldn't get my car back to running in one day. He is a top notch guy. (I'm going to have to delete that last comment soon. I don't want his ego getting any bigger than it already is.)

I tried the baseball bat trick and it didn't work for me. I tried wood and aluminum bats and niether worked so I got out the 4 lb sledge and went to town beating the crap out of my fenders.I'm sure my neighbors loved me.
