Im doing the grip mod (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) and im wondering if anyboy had some pic's of thier fender's? I have read all of the thread's on this and didn't want to go to far with the BFH! Im going to heat it and cut under the lip, but would like to know how far to cut and bang away!

We rolled the fenders on a friends 96 Z28 Sunday. The first fender we did, we cracked the paint. Even with the heat gun it was a little too cold outside. The second fender went a lot better as we started to figure out what the hell we were doing. When you got to a spot weld there was a lot more resistance to wanting to bend. I'll probably try it on mine. The secret is to go slow and keep the surface of the paint heated.
