F%#king fenders

[dbltapp]

I made an attempt to trim the lower rear half of my qtr panles, just under that ugly moldeing. I was using a Dewalt cordless sawzall, with a 24tpi blade, and it just wasn't working. It took me 15min to go 1"! I need some advise as to what to use. I can't inspect my burb w/o fixing the rust, and the cheapest way is to cut it off. I also intend to trim my fenders for fitment issues. Thanx

You want a very fine tooth good quality blade. Or maybe use
a cutoff wheel or soemthing.

I use a cut off wheel or a 4" anle grinder.

i used a 4" grinder with speedycut discs, and a sawsall. i have a thing on it in my webshots.

I used a cut off wheel. First, I marked my upper point with a sharpie and measured my lower point forward from the fende/door seem. The I marked that as well with the shapie. Nest, I put a piece of electrical tape for a guide connecting the two previous marks. I then used the cutoff wheel & started to cut. I probably tok all of 1 hr to do everything and trim the stuff underneathe as well. Anyway, good luck no matter how you do it.

Thanx for the ideas! I am getting my shoulder hacked on today by the local Navy doctors, so if they don't screw anything up I should be working on the fenders again in about a month.

I had the Navy doctors cut into my shoulder 2 years ago. They didn't do to bad of a job. I think they use a sharpie and a cutt off wheel too. What brach of the service are you in?

I am in the Navy, for 12 more months, unless they can come up with what I want! /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif /forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

I used a sawsall on mine and it worked well. Just use good metal blades. I changed them quite frequently.

I was using a cordless, and it had no balls! I think I will try a cut off wheel next.

I've used a cutoff wheel. It works fine but it just takes longer.

Use the Milwaukee Bi-Metal blades...24tpi....
It will cut like "Butter"!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
