Default Cutting Fenders

Well I pulled my fender flares off and probably gonna tape off and cut them today! They didn't leave too bad of lines on the fenders but I'm painting it OD green at the end of April anyway!!!

Well I finished my last fender tonight so that's all wrapped up. Went ahead and changed my sway bar frame bushings while I was dirty and OMG I didn't realize how big of a difference they make. I had a loud knock coming from the front end before and now that's gone and it doesn't feel like it wants to roll on me anymore so I'm good now! Next up hopefully tranny x-member then long arms!!!

A jig saw with metal cutting blade. They actually came out pretty good! Maybe just need to be sanded down to take the rough edge off but I'm satisfied. The rear I used a grinder with cutoff wheel to notch them. Went faster and left a bigger gap than the jig saw
