Hi I'm looking for ideas and suggestions on how to straighten the rolled edge of the fender with the wire support.I thought a die in that shape would be ideal however you would have to remove the wire support.Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

So many different types of damage require different approches, hard to say.
Maybe a pic of the area you need to fix would help us point you in the right direction.

Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Anyone who does metal shaping amazes me. I just don't get it.
