"On to the wheel wells"

Now that I have removed a large part of the stable flooring and support from the rear of the car, I had to replace the jackstands and add another set to stabilized the now pretty wobbly rear end, but dont worry..nothing is gonna break here...but just in case..lol! Its just alot to ask the rear pillar and roof to hold up for long periods of time.

Now I have already made a 36" 1/2 round template from poster paper to simulate the size of the wheel tubs that are going in and then I traced the lines onto the inner fender panel to get ready for cutting as you can see the marker lines here. Now that those are out, I need to open up the out wheel well about 6" for the Goodyear Eagles to fit. I was able to do this by tracing a line all the way around the upper edge of the fender flare about 3/4 on an inch from the curve of the flare in fact, then use a pair of metal shears to cut them out. Once that part was cut out, then i cut the flare in half and placed them on either side of the tire once i slide it back into place under the car. That part is actually going quite well. So as you can see..they fit in there just fine now. and I just have to tack in the flares now and fabricate the center part of the flare then do a little tacking and mudding..and were good to go. I'm actually hurrying through this step on this side cuz Im way behind here, but I'll photograph and be more detailed with this step on the other side of the car.
