I was able to rent a fender roller from:

All American Tire & Wheel
5701 N Broadway St
Knoxville, TN 37918

This was probably 3 months ago. I don't know how much they would charge to do it.
Thanks for the tip. I ended up borrowing a roller, but it broke halfway through the job. Then I just bought one from Eastwood (much better product than the first one). Got the job done. Expensive project so far. :(

I've been getting my alignments at Andrew Keisler's place. So far so good! I really like being able to get under the car and verify the settings without the pressure of turning customers to get another car on the rack.

Anyone have a recommendation for a shop to do a na Miata alignment in West Knox/Farragut? I saw some folks like EAG, but others said they do euro only?

Andrew is great. But also another option is The tire barn at walker springs does a great alignment. They have the hunter machine and balancer. Kyle works there and is a Miata owner and will set car up how you want it. You don't even have to have an appointment. But I recommend one. $69.00 I think.

Thanks for the tip Randy; I thought about trying that place...I believe Micah had his Miata aligned there as well.

You got it Kevin. Good to see you on here. Kyle comes out and races in STR occasionally.

Thanks Randy; I read the (solo) forum somewhat regularly and sometimes post. Is it possible to ask for Kyle if I set up an appt at Tire Barn? I need to install new inner tie rods as well.

For those of you who go to Andrew's place, are alignments part of his normal business or something he does more in the interest of helping out the community when he has extra time?

Alignments are really sort of his "thing."

Yes you can call and ask what day he works and schedule with them from there.

No experience with Tire Barn but I have used Matlock on Kingston Pike a few times. John over there does a good job and will let you sit in the car while he does it. That makes a difference, in case you didn't know.

Can anyone recommend a machine shop that would offer hot tanking and deck milling on aluminum engine heads?

Any suggestions for an interior/upholstery shop? I need a new soft top put on.
