    There's alot more to that than just cutting them out. Besides running an edge, you have to reattach the inner wheel well housing which will have quite a gap up that high. Good luck finding a body shop that will take on a project like that. Most are into collision work only these days.

    I found the owner he is a member to this forum http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=10580&page=1&pp=20

    you gotta Love that Maverick(y)

    From one of his post pasted below

    How do you cut fender wells, how long did it take, how hard was it to do?

    I dont know. I took the car to the body shop and showed them pictures of the Tammy's car. I think they did a pretty decent job.
