    Have you checked the tech section? I believe there was a write up in there.

    On a big bumper car the headlamp bucket will define where the horizontal fold is to be made for the top of the notch. You need to measure down one inch from there to cut. It will be obvious when you look at the fender. If you look at the pictures in the link you can see that the vertical fold is an inch and a half in from the edge of the fender, but the cut is made only an inch in.
