Aw hell, throw some spacers/shackles on it and say you had to replace some suspension stuff cuz it was worn out...

I hate to hijack the thread, but it's better than starting a new one.

Question is... what did everyone use to trim the fenders with? I don't want mangled edges or else I'd use a grinder or hacksaw.
