    I would rather lose by a mile because I built my own car, than lose by an inch, because someone else built it for me. Your car is your story, so don't let someone else write the book.

    yes. work your way around the fender, little by little. figure out how hard you need to hit it and feel it out before you go at it like a maniac.

    i rolled my old grand prix and my subaru with just a hammer and a heat gun. the roller is overrated when you want really flat, super rolled, not pulled fenders.

    if getting rid of the seam involves cutting, just stop before you start. unless you want all your fenders to rust out.

    *poor choice of words, rather.

    just the lip on the inner side of the fender i need gone, then hopefully the wheel will tuck and everything will be right in the world

    I have gr2's and ssc's 35k on them and about 4 years later it rides like a slamed civic, struts are completly shot. If u want ur car to ride like chit go ahead. The car rode a little bouncy for the first 10k then just more progresivly turned to chit, its un-bareable now. Just ordered kyb strut-plus for a nice smooth ride

    As far as rolling u could also carefully use a grinder and touch up paint. A bunch of guys on the gto forum did it that way, way less chance of buckling the metal/paint around the wheel well.
