I wanted to cut my fenders, so I did. I followed the body lines and when I cut the flare piece out, I realized it would look cool if I just reused it.
To fill this space, just bend up a piece of metal and weld it in there. A piece of roof from a red Geo Metro works pretty good. But you can use whatever.
This is how it looks on the inside.
I got this idea from Fender Cutting 101 http://www.therangerstation.com/Magazine/summer2008/fendercutting101.htm
The left side doesn't look the greatest because there was an incident involving a dear...but I'm sure it will end up looking pretty good when it's all done.
Obviously it's not done yet, I still need to do some grinding, bondo work, and paint, but I like it so far. You get to keep your stock body lines, fit bigger tires (working on that part), and it makes your fenders nice and sturdy. Rather than just having a thin piece of sheet metal that flops around in the wind.
