    Making them with an English wheel, but wouldn't surprise me if someone is making a plastic one the rivots on as I was told someone had one at the world 100 but looked home made.

      Blake Spencer had a home made rivet on at the World 100. I assumed they would be illegal next year. Haha

        I went and bought an English wheel from harbor freight. It works awesome. And if you have a coupon from one of their booklets they send out monthly you can buy the separate die kit for doing different things almost free because of the discount on the actual English wheel.

          Just wait until you work with a "real" English wheel....

            Yeah I could imagine. Lol. But for what I need it for this one works great. Even helps roll a crease out of some bent metal. Just have to be careful not to stretch it.

                  Polish out those wheels and rollers on that HF wheel and you'll feel the difference.

                          or let the tire travel without crushing the fender?

                            Hard to see in that pic but what they're doing is lowering the top of the door and subsequently the back of the hood and front of the decking to get a tremendous wedge effect from there back. If they didn't bubble fender up ahead of it, the RF would be rubbing something awful. It really doesn't have anything to do with increased RF travel. That's pretty old news. This has everything to do with getting the front of the decking even lower than the back than what was previously thought possible. We keep it up and we'll need to figure out how to get distributor clearance from the hood.
                            This is a complete byproduct of lack of rules enforcement. They don't need to make a rule to outlaw this. If they would enforce the existing rules on door height and decking height from front to back, they wouldn't have to worry about this crap.

                              All three answers are correct...
