What to use to fill gap in fenders after trimming?

[mtn. burb]

I trimmed my fenders big time about 2 years ago.

To fill the gap, do I weld in pieces of sheet metal? Or just spray in that expanding insulation goop?

Suggestions please.

Thanks.

dont use the expanding foam, water will get in the pores and cause rot.

I used the foam ... my fenders were already rotted so it helped hold them together Plus the fenders didn't last very long anyhow from all the tree/rock damage.

get some duct tape and cover up the holes. Then go to pepboys and get some matching body paint. Paint the tape to match. No one will notice

What you should have done is before you trimmed you should have left some metal on the outside of the fender so you could have bent it over to form the lip. Probably the best thing you could do now is weld in some new metal.
