On the trimming of the rear quarter panel, can i cut directly in the center of the tack weld or can i trim above or below it. Because the tack welds are right even with the flare attachment holes. And then I slice and bend up and in right? Sorry I like doin things right the first time. I guess in this instance, I have no choice. thanks.

 

Every thing I have read said cut just below the spot welds. Then cut inbetween spot welds to bend up.

 

i would not even bother with cutting them then bending them up. i would and this is just me will save you some time. just cut slots after every pot weld or every couple of inches and hammer them up in the wheel well and call it good.

 

Yea, it's not really worth trimming the bottom off first. When you fold them up, they flatten down for the most part. Besides, nobody's gonna go up inside your wheel well to criticize your cut and fold. Just a little tip, since I screwed up a little on the first side. When your cutting the slots, don't go all the way to the body line, stop like 1-2 mm before other wise they show a little bit when your at eye level with it. Can't see it standing up though, but I imagine it would look cleaner.

 

Right on thanks guys will try to get to it tomorrow gotta busy day messing with my carb. BTW, I would be the guy sticking my head up someones fender well and critiquing their work. lol. always inquisitive.

 

This may help.

 

DUDE!! That's exactly what I needed. curious, what did you use to make the cuts. cuz those look really clean. thanks for the pic!!

 

Now go cut em up!

 

will do in the morning after I get my new carburetor installed!!!

 

its also a good idea to use masking tape to stop the paint from chipping when folded!!!

 

will do thanks man. oh hey nice rig. dig the mudflaps lol. gotta hate utah laws lol

 

yes utah sucks for the laws.

 

The law sucks but damn its beautiful! I went up to SLC with a buddy to pic up his TJ and I was like whats with all the damn mudflaps. He was like its the state law and I was like thats GAY!!!

 

ya I'll put up with the laws all day, as long as I can still have access to all the land & wheelin we have here!!!
