Roll up another one!

So I’ve got an Eastwood Fender roller that I use for modifying fenders to accept more aggressive size wheels/tires. This is a great tool to do it the right way as opposed to using a baseball bat or pipe. Problem is that on certain cars with a short stroke, low fender line or on car that are the lowest of low, you can’t get the roller to the right setting because the body itself if too long.

Here’s a look at an unrevised fender roller.

and here are the revised pictures. 1″ has been removed from the the body and now I just need to sand it and have it repainted/powder coated Big thanks again to Howard from Technosquare for doing an awesome job on it!

Juke-R: More Likely Than We Think?

A couple of months ago there was a Juke-R project that got everyone’s attention: a Nissan Juke with the Nissan GT-R engine, transmission, and all of its fancy electronics transplanted into it. Now it has appeared on a track and is receiving even more buzz. It performs just like how everyone imagined it would: the power and technology of the GT-R in a rather small chassis with a short wheelbase. The Juke-R just zips around the track as if it is go-kart. Whether you like the beefy aggressive styling or just downright hate the looks of the Juke, everyone can agree that this is indeed a little beast on the track. Is it likely we might see a production version of this crazy car? Check out this article on MotorTrend for the test drive write-up!
