hmm that is a good Q
whatever is used it better be tough
that tire rub would tear up something that wasnt metal, real quick i would think
im not gonna worry about it on my 77, as im not gonna be out anywhere where the tires could touch the cut edges
hmm
good luck

I welded to inner fender and then speed lined. Door moulding works.
you might check www.awdirect.com It is a towing supply company they have stuff like that.
Search this has definately been talked about before. Good luck
Some people have also taken a thin piece of metal like 1/8" that is flat and maybe an inch wide and weld it to bottom edge around the wheel well. That give a nice flat area if the wheel hits and a uniform roundness to the cut outs

I bent the stock chrome molding and screwed it back on afterwards . Te screws go in the side now on the cut edge .
custom trim...
I've seen a few trucks with 3/8" brake line tubing or solid metal rod stock welded on to the sharp edges,after bending to match the fender contour..needed it to pass inspection here (no holes,or sharp metal allowed)..
