Smoother cuts would have been nice too. Looks like you can't follow a line and just chewed it off.

You definately got clearance there! I could sleep between the tire and fender.

You gonna cover up the big gap that's showing now? Mud and crap will get piled up in there.

Take grinder and grind that cut smooth and it'll look good. Try using a sawzall next time

Well if you ever need a place to crash you know who to call. And yes I know my tire is flat but it doesn't matter because its coming off today! And don't believe the boyfriend, I'll do the other three. I have always had a fear of power tools because my dad used to chase me around with them, but I think I can suck it up and be a man and get those fenders done.
