I used an Air hack saw. The air saw works a very high speed and I cut slits every 1 1/2 " on the lip then used a very heavy rubber mallet with a sand bag on the outside and tapped the slits up till they where flush . The best way to do this I found was to use a full lexan face shield and lay on your back with the wheel remove and the car on jack stands. I did mark the wells first by dropping a string down the side of the wheel well on to the tire, you don't need to trim all the way around the well. Use a lot of light to see the cut because the air saw works fast.

I've always liked the American mags and have a set for the car. The fronts are installed with 195x60s but the rears are offset a bit for wide 50s. My question is: Should I cut open the rear fender wells like a `66 (I like the rear wheel wells of the `66 Chevelle) or just work in the tires without cutting the car? Play with wheel offsets and tire sizes that fit? Anybody know of any howtoos for fender well modifications? What Ya think? -Chuck -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ckz.us `65 Chevelle Malibu 327 4 spd `87 BMW K100RS `79 Grumman Cheetah --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
