Hey guys just needing a quick hand with an issue i have and many of us have faced.
I have had my Weld racing wheels on my ute for some time and the turning radius scrubs very hard on the lower front of the quarter panels.
I am needing to trim away the area in which scrubs.
My question is what is the best way to do this with the cleanest cut as the car is painted i want to inflict as minimal damage as possible but if worst case i can get the guards repainted im just not wanting to warp them during the process.
My idea is to use 3M masking tape for the area applied appropriately, template out a radius for the cut then use a die grinder to cut the panel and cut and stop slowly as to not put to much heat into the panel. It scares the #OOPS# out of me to do it but it needs to be done, so i can finally engineer and get the car through rego.
Or the other option is take it too a panel beater have them trim the guard and put it onto an english wheel and roll the lips properly and flare them ever so slightly
I just really need another opinion from people that have done it or an actual panel beater from here
Cheers
