Trimming fenders with a plasma cutter will be like cutting warm butter /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif I'll prolly re-trim mine /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

if you are looking for more ideas check out cornfeds suburban in one of the tech forums.
he completely got rid of his core support and made it real simple.
its one of the cleanest ones ive seen and I will be stealing his idea and hopefully I can get him to help /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif
plus he is a local here so you can probably see it at browns camp on our next trip.

I was just going to runthe radiator up front with some tube,but I said hell with it,and cut the core support up.
I used 1 bolt for each fender had to cut a notch out on the fender and drill a hole.I decided it wouldnt be that strong with one bolt holding it on,if I took a direct hit to a rock,so I joined the fenders together with 2 big long pieces of threaded rod,on both sides of the radiator,plus 2 going from the core support to the firewall it works good,dosent look bad,plus you can hang wires and such from them.The hood was the hardest getting a straight line cut.
my sawzall is M.I.A so I used a cutoff wheel /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif
it looks pretty good except for the fact it looks like ray charles cut it /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
I updated my webshots account if yall wanna check out the flex pics I did yesterday /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
