Default MSOC- Group Arch Rolling ideas?

This has been talked about in the past & I know a few members who would be interested inc myself. So can we have some ideas e.g. hiring the arch rolling tool & all of us getting together & doing ourselves or getting a proffesional to do us a group price?? So any ideas/contacts please list & add your names down too:

ps if you need some inspiration, see link below:

If we set a date (or group of 3) and hire the kit from fleabay (£60) I'm quite happy to do the work. You can even buy the arch rollers for about £150

I have a heat gun, and have rolled arches before, albeit with my panel beaters kit, so a roller will give a better finish inside the arch

1) Ricky
2) Luther
3) Wiley

John the " Star" has volunteered do bash up our arches, now all we need to do is organise a date & sort out the hiring of the arch rolling tool between the three of us.

That sounds like an option, I probably have some stuff in the garage that we could use

Max Power Mod Of The Month - Stick a length of scaffold tube between the back of the tyre and the arch, then just let the handbrake off and roll the car forwards - Simples

...265 sections, here we come....

hi guys you may no or may not know www.styledynamix.co.uk in hayes off pump lane they do arch rolling last time i went there they charged £15 per wheel arch and they done a nice job on my old VR6 have been doing it for years.

only suggesting as ive seen what archs look like if its not done correctly and believe me you dont want to see it the paint will crack if not heated enough or bubble if done to much and the metal can ripple. (mine had a cracked/ripple not nice)

im not saying any body here is stupid or any thing guys just an expirence i have come across and wat to share with you as i wouldnt want it to happen to anybody.

cheers peter
