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...

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...

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...
Changed the shocks yesterday to OEM spec Monroe, they are still gas shocks. Disappointed that the ride is still very firm, it is not as bad but I was hoping for better. Might have something to do...
