Thanks.

I've been working on modifing the inner fender and fender lip to accomadate my tire & wheel setup. When I hit a dip in the highway the tire contacts the lip of the fender well. Not really diggin that. I was going to change the wheels for a bigger back space but I really like the wheels and the way the car sits. So time to start cutting & welding.

Started with the fenders first. There is about an inch wide lip in the wheel well that needed to be bend back.



A few cuts and it folded up pretty easy. Just have to weld up the cut lines and good as new.



I left about a 1/4" on the fender so I have picked up 3/4" already. Then I went onto the inner fender and cut out the piece I want to raise up.
I actually cut out one more inch up into the inner fender after I took this photo. This will be the section that I square off to get 2 additional inches of vertical wheel travel.
Should end up with plenty of wheel room.



Well, I got the passenger inner fender done today. Now I just have to weld up the inner fender lip and that side is done. Then onto the drivers side. Should get done quicker now that I have an idea of what I want to do.
