    I am about to feel really stupid because I swear I asked this before once but I'm way too lazy to look. How did you guys get your fenders trimmed so close to a perfect "roundness" I guess or whatever.. lol I tried a dremel on one fender and f***ed it up so now I have to invest in a new one.. :D But I managed to get the other better but have no idea on the sheet metal portion.

    Get a ruler, drill a hole centered at "2" or however many inches you want to cut, stick a 16D nail through the hole. Run the nail on the edge of your fender and a sharpie on the end of the ruler. Keeps the same radius all the way around.


    Yes, it's ghetto but works.

    For what it's worth I drilled one hole large enough to get a screwdriver through it and that made it easy to see the angle.i was cutting at. I kept the little piece of aluminum I used. Want me to mail it to you?

    What did you guys use to actually make the cut? I'm going back and forth between jigsaw and dremel.

    I was going to do some sort of method like that from what Chris said. I'm doing just two inches anyways. I've got a tiny ruler I will cut a hole into and do it.

    Combo of both for me. Used a small jigsaw for the big sections and angles and then a dremmel down low where it gets tighter.

    How long did it take with the dremel? Did it struggle much?
