arch rolling ???

[retro nova]

just need to find out which ways are there to roll arches with the most minimum damage to the wing or quarter ???

[autoworksnovasport]

cut slits in the lip every cm or so so your only bending a small amount at a time

[retro nova]

that does sound like my best bet, was looking at arch rolling kits as well but errr bit much for my pocket :eek:

[autoworksnovasport]

remember to put paint over the bits you cut afterwards else you willl end up with premature rust coming through

[retro nova]

yeh will do or I could spray some etch and under seal the back of them

[autoworksnovasport]

yeah aslong as its not bare metal

Small cut each end, then fold the whole lip over, seal back up inc the fold to stop water getting in.

Only two cuts then, less chance of rust.

but more chance of bending /damaging arch

if you dive it and beat it, do it gently, warm the arch up, bend slowly..

I wouldnt have any cuts at all....... Have a pro bodyshop gently fold the lip over, seal it up and re paint would be the best way. If your arches are good and its done properly then it'll last for years to come. Their is detailed pics in my wip thread for both front and rear arches If you have time to read through all the pages to find them.

Plasma cut the entire inner arch out and just weld bigger ones onto the side of the body. You're done then.

[Benn]

[BRoadGhost]
