FIGURE 5
11. Cut along the traced cut-line with a
pneumatic body saw, reciprocating saw, cut-
off wheel or other appropriate cutting tool.
Note that the sheetmetal is double thickness
along the back portion of the fender. Also
you will need to further loosen or remove the
firewall bolts in order to pull the fender away
from the firewall to continue your cut to the
end.
FIGURE 6
12. When cutting along the front portion near
the grille, be careful not to damage the grille
with the cutting tool. This is why the spacer
inserted between the fender and the grille is
important.
FIGURE 7
13. Once the outer sheetmetal is cut, you will
need to go underneath the fender to finish
some of the cuts. At the front of the fender,
you may need to finish cutting through the
thick metal hood latch support from the
underside.
FIGURE 8
14. Toward the back, from underneath, notice
that the rear of the inner wheel well continues
downward from where you had cut through
the top surface of the fender. You will want
to cut downward from the point of the top-
surface cut, continue as close to the outer
sheetmetal skin as possible. You may be
limited by your cutting tool with regards to
how close to the outer sheetmetal you can
cut. Mark a cut line, trying to leave as much
of this inner wheel well as possible.
