6-1-2014 I heard from Deron today, who sent me an image that "might be of interest." One issue we had run into when we went to place the front fenders in their correct position is that they collided with the exhaust pipes on both sides of the car. The inner edge of the fender is finished off with a stiffening bead that was stamped into the metal. The only answer is to cut a semicircular notch out of the fender and to extend the bead along the edge of the cutout. I knew that Dan had been thinking about this for several months. He has now begun to create the clearance cutout.
I took some additional pictures of his process and include them here:
Dan has also finished more sanding and priming on the hood sides with their modified louvers and clearance blisters.
