bobbing a fender

I'm considering cutting on my rear fender, all the guy's who've done this before, what methods did you use? Would a cutoff wheel do the job?

I used Dremmel cut off wheels to do mine. You'll need 4-5 reinforced cut off wheels. I marked off the cut several times with Duct tape until I was happy with it and clamped it in a vise and sawed it off. I have also heard of people using a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade.

I also used a dremmel..............I love that thing.It takes a little longer than an angle grinder but it makes a nice clean cut.

sweet ride fanda! using the dremel did you have to smooth it out after the cut with sand paper or take the grinder to it before painting or did the dremel make it that clean?
