    That is a big tire for the rear of these cars. I didn't even see how I could fit 255 with the stock rear end. You will have to widen it at LEAST 4 inches on each side. Too bad the frame is so close...

    Heh alright cool. :D But yeah like I said, if you tried to do it with one strip or hammer formed the top part (where it welds to the inside part of the fender) then it will want to crease and just...

    Brian, if your talking about me then sorry but you are kind of wrong about that. I own a 48 coupe (same as a 46 and 47) and doing the same thing with mine. I have not cut mine in half yet but making...

    Brian is right, you have to do it in MULTIPLE pieces. The way the 46-48 chevy rear fenders are shaped are weird... They are rounded out and just don't keep one round shape, it changes and widens and...

    Yeah Brians idea with the jig is a good one. If you don't make some kind of jig then you will have different looking fenders on both sides and picky people will notice it and never stop giving you...

    Lengthwise you spilt the whole thing down. Like someone on here said, find the flattest spot on the fender. Where I would do it (since my car is the same as yours) is at the very top where it's kind...

    How much more clearance do you really need and want? 3 inches on each side would be PLENTY I am thinking. If your going to cut and reweld them then might as well go a tad bigger than 2 inches and go...

    I have a 48 (the same thing) and have a 79 Z28 Camaro front clip too. I hear these are too wide for 46-48, how is yours? Also you can buy 2 inch widened rear fenders for your car. Either that or make...
