Homemade fender roller

[deviousKA]

Hey everyone, i had to shoot this pic to show someone this roller, and decided to show it here as well. Took me about 1 1/2 hrs and some free parts to throw this together, works well. And Cheap!

Nice, I expected to see a Louisville Slugger!

that thing is funny looking...but cool. I think there is another guy somewhere on this board that made his own as well.... Are you gonna pull your fenders with that too?

[Bliss]

ok, can u just give a little info on wtf that is?? or, made of anyway? lol

pretty cool. home made stuff that works well is always cool.

[Heartwork]

pretty clever, but doesnt look very adjustable...
really neat attempt

[ThatGuy]

Actually it looks like the screw/bolt at the bottom could adjust the tension, and the C-clamp could adjust the height. Yes, no, maybe????

The top half with the roller is adjustable with about 5 settings. the clamp and holder are pivot point, and you can change that for roller angle. I rolled all 4 and pulled the rear with it on my fastback. I just threw it together taking only the dimensions in consideration for my particular setup.

i see that, but what i was referring to was the wheel part that actually touches the fender doesnt look adjustable

[FRpilot]

whoa.. definitely homemade looking. very innovative. you would win first prize at a science project competition if i was judging it. lol. that thing must be heavy w/ the rotor and all..

[Bbandit]

looks strange but it seems like it did its job nicely.. good job man
now lemme borrow it ;P

anyways, what kind of rims are those... Im thinking about getting some race wheels for my R-compound but couldnt find anything on the web.. especially with this 4 lug hub.. :(

Definitely agree :rawk:

[Johny5]

2.5 stroke, oem pignose foglights (UBERHAWT), the true race wheels in perfect width/offset. i don't care if it sounds like i jock everything about this guys car, its the absolute shit.

[deviousKA]

Thanx for the compliments guys, plan to pull my fenders even more, so i will do some more modifications to it. The roller isnt directly angle adjustable no, i can get a few different angles out of it by repositioning the pivot point. I was going to make it adjustable there, but the current setting worked well for what i needed. And yes it is very heavy, throws off weight distribution when in car, haha.

The wheels are 16x8 Circle racing wheels, forged aluminum http://circleracing.com/ . You can get just about any lug pattern and size/width. They weigh about 12lbs a piece (16x8) iirc.

Thanks Johny5 and Ghettokracker, but just wait and see what i got comming out of the bag here next month :)

please do not leave us in the dark. and please build me a sohc beast :)
