Louisville slugger and a couple of fat gals to sit on the rear quarters.

I need to roll the back. Or raise it. I love the stance right now, but will raise it to the second hole on the shackles and see what it looks like.
 

Looks like you have plenty of clearance.

rpm - do you use the bfh after the car was painted?  I had several "body" people tell me not to try this after the car is painted as there is a good chance of cracking the paint at the outer corner of the lip.

Yes I did roll both front and rear after paint as I usually do things bass ackwards. I didn't realize I wanted/needed them rolled till after paint. And yes Steve69 there is plenty of room. No issues with paint chipping on the rear. On the front I rolled them as far as I could with a hammer, then cut slits to get them flush. Then I welded the slits. They needed a bit of body work and will need repainted.

If you do want the Eastwood fender roller, it's available on ebay now for $120:

I have used my Eastwood roller on many a car from Porches to Pintos and had good results. Warm up the paint a little and you get no serious cracking. I have even moved some of the lumps in the wheel well with it to get more bump room inside the fender.

My method.  You have to plan ahead, which hardly ever happens.

Lay the fender face down in a nice thick patch of grass in the yard.  Slowly hammer the lip with the flat end of a ball peen hammer to fold it back so the inside edge is vertical when on the car, and there is a 1/4" or slightly less gap between the fender and the rolled lip.  That leaves room for water to run out from between the fender and the lip, and the lip is vertical so even if it does rub, it doesn't cut anything.  I have used this method even on painted fenders and you can still roll the edge without affecting any paint that shows.  (I didn't say YOUR paint wouldn't chip).

If you hammer the inner lip flat against the fender or quarter panel, well... You just created a really nice place to catch dirt...nice, moist, dirt.  And there is no way to clean it out.  You have to leave a gap. 

Tires and wheels that actually fit the car are a big plus as well when it comes to wheel clearance.
 

I always hear about these great tips AFTER I did it my way...which is to say I users a BFH and hammered the lips on the rears till they touched....fortunatly, was before the bodywork, cause this caused a couple bumps on each fender...little too afresive with the BFH.
