nuttn. but i guarentee i took off more fender than you.
you can/could have left the outter lip longer then the inner and then shrink and roll it over. then weld it up.
you just weld in a plate and trim/grind it smooth.
or search on fender trimming for a bunch of pics of a bunch of other methods

SOMEBODY HERE BOUGHT THE LIP FROM JCWHITNEY AND WELD AND SMOOTHED IT OUT .(sorry).... looked really good and professional, but its a lot of work! I just left mine.

Just take the inner fender out! Solves the problem all together! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

Problem is without a lip it will shake like hell from wind, vibration of the road, etc... that is why I made a lip on mine and welded them together.

Im gonna try tack welding the pieces together on mine, not to worried about appearance myself.

Do you know if its more rust prone once you take the inner fender out?
