I used an angle grinder with a thin cutoff wheel.

Its really simple.

Measure and draw a line or use tape and take your time.

Ue a thin wheel on a grinder or a drumel. Thats what i did. I took my sons circle compass for a striaght edge to follow the fender curve. I found some automotive metal liner on cragslist and Ive also found some at opolstery shops. A rubber liner with metal interal clips
