Default rolling fenders

whats the best way to roll my fenders? a baseball bat? i have **** paint and couldnt care any less about it. i dont car if it get scratched or flakes or whatever. whats the easiest/best way to roll them? should i remove them to do it. the fenders arnt even lined up cause i had them off a few months ago so i could take them off if needed. in fact, they arnt even tightened down, theyre just sittin loose, the bolts hand tightened. can anyone post some pictures or a website with instructions? thansks

did he smash the living crap outta it or did he set the bat up between the tire and fender, apply pressure, and have someone roll the car? i just read something about that.

If you are not worried about your paint, a small pair of duck bills will work or even a body hammer. Take you time and work it over. Don't try to get it all done in one or two passes.

The problem with cutting is: You had better roll the lips all the way up against the backside of the quarter panel or you will slice the tires when you hit a dip. Especially if your back seat is full of people. Ask me how I know[8D]

so its ok if i cut every few inches as long as i press them flat against the fender right? another problem i have is, the lip is full of bondo starting on the bottom and goes up about 10 inches. i mean, the lip is mostly formed with bondo, sorta like someone had but them before and now they tried to fix it with bondo. here try this:
