Here's the problem.

I don't give a f*** if it looks like shit!!!!!!!  8)

I need to fill a couple small holes, and water still leaks in there, but that's why I took the carpet out and have body plugs for!

I didn't say "look" I said "work", silicone will pull away and leak and cause rot. IMO

Sorry if this is a Hi-Jack, but I posted a sort of similar question before with not much response...
Zig, what did you used to cut your fenders, that looks really good.  Do you think a 3" BL and trimming fenders like yours would help clear 31's ?


I used a cut-off wheel and a sawsall (sawsall  for the majority and the wheel to clean it up) then  I used the same weapons to cut out the relpacement sheet metal and then cleaned it up with a bench grinder (after bending it to shape)
