Ok....i know how to cut fenders! But my dad has always done it! But now im going to! What kind of tool do u use to trim them?

Posted by: Razorback

jig saw works great. its leaves the edges a little rough, but that can easily be sanded to a nice buffed finish.

m friend used a hack saw and it came out really good and was really easy to cut.

ok...thanks guys! I think im gunna use the jig saw! what does everyone else use? keep the idea's comin!

alot of people use a dremel with a cutoff tool.

easiest way instead of sanding is to use a lighter on the edges when your done cutting.

one more question! How do you line them up! Like so you know where to cut them at?

I used electrical tape to mark, then a hack saw, works really well. You are going at a slow enough pace were it's hard to mess up

copeing saw and sand to finish

what else do you guys use besides electrical tape to line up the edges!?

Posted by: Razorback

electrical tape probably works the best, but you could try a marker, especially the dry erase kind, so if you mess up it won't be permanent.

OK that works....you guys have been a big help!
