you have access to equipment and a head on your shoulders and can't figure out a way to fix that...cut all the rust off and just trim the fender cutting and folding makes for chipped paint and uneven lines

If you arent handy with welding or body work...Id try to hit it really good with a wire wheel brush on a drill and see how much rust actually knocks off. Take whats left and cut out the rust. LEAVE the pinch welds. SPray a rust killer on it, then continue to try to cut and fold.

Damn, I wish my Jeep only had that little rust on the rear when I cut/folded mine.. I still have to fix a 5-6" split on one side, and a big chunk missing on the other.. lol.
