Default Fender Rolling/Flaring - what bodywork is involved?

Hey everyone...

Alot of you should know about the SCWEET1 dude; I'm having a look at pictures of his fenders and that lip/flare/roll (what the **** do you call it?) he's put in. What sort of bodywork does the car need if I want to replicate that? If I took a guard rolling dolly to it and wound it up to a million, would I get the same result (I'm assuming cracked paint is unavoidable), or is it a bit of a chop and weld job?

Pictures:






Peace out,
Alex.

Time, heat, and a lot of rolling.

Possible body work and some repaint Idk.

Clean as **** though, you should just ask him what he did

Whatever he did to get that flare, he did a great job

in fact I think if the paint is unavoidable, use a hammer, that's faster! But need maybe a little bit more skill...

Mine where push half an inch with a 5lbs hammer, paint crack obviously, but it take me 1h each side (rear only)

that is not done from rolling, that is a cut and weld job.

i agree with this. youll never get it that aggressive and clean with a roll/pull.

Found a thread of someone who claims to have got a pull like that using only a dolly

I reckon you could do it; it might need a little cleaning up from a body shop however.
