sorry guys thats what i ment was trimming. was not sure with how the front and rear bumper caps are attatched and blended with the stock flare

Mines a 97 but a 4 door and cut up don't bother me. Just please don't cut the front fender square.

looks clean thank you that gives me a much better idea now.

When I did my 85 it cut it up to where the panels come together and then put a 1/2 to 3/4 cut up in the two panels and hammered/folded them back into the fenderwell and then welded them and ground them as smooth as I could then painted the fender edge and well with bedliner. It worked great. Make sure you have a wet towel in the cab where you are doing the welding as the body filler material will light up.

take off the rear flare, then cut off that small lip on the bottom.. then



dont cut on the pinch welds, make your cuts around them !

followed by alittle bitmore hammering and paint!
