x2 on the angle grinder, however, follow the radius, dont just cut straight up and across it looks terrible every single time someone does a fender like this /------\
round corners not square and you'll be happier.
done with an angle grinder, one pass. how you do the very front is all preference. I ended up not using these fenders because I went to a 97+ front end, so they are sitting as spares.

I just did this.. Mark how much I wanted to cut. Then straight lined all my cuts .. on those top corners I did a straight cut to. Once done with the major cuts I just used a flapper disk to round out my corners. Rear fenders are really where all the fun is at
