    Savuth -
    No images of the fender avail right now. I felt a little awkward pulling out the camera as the guy was doing it, but he is someone who has recreated body panels for Ferraris at the Stuart Body Shop in Dalls, TX.
    If you heat the panel with either natural sunlight or an application of a heat gun, you decrease the risk of paint problems - but there are never any guarantees.
    The other type of location to look for would be the "ricer" body shops or shops like the one on "pimp my ride" on MTV where they have experience with both rolling and "pulling" fenders.
    DavidinLA has, in the past, posted his images of rolling using the roller device that attaches to the axel, and several other rennlisters have used a baseball bat or PVC piping to achieve the same results.
    The curve is either rolled in on itself, or, in my case, hammered into a fold.
    Thank you for the kind words - I'm so happy to be reunited with my car after about 3 years!
    Got to love these cars!!!!

    Russ,

    When you rolled/hand hammered the fender. Did you have any problem with paint chipping? I noticed the 993 fender doesn't exactly looks like any other fender. It's bends in a curve formation, not a 90 degree bend like other cars. Do you have any pics. of the fender? I just want to see the finishing job, if you post that up.

    BTW, you car looks great, I love our setups...

    Thanks,
    Savuth
