Nope, not cutting on the rear wheel well. No need to. Just the front. In some way. Thanks for all the suggestions though, they are much appreciated.
Blueghoast, sounds like your talking about cutting and movng the front fender the same way you would do a rear well. Not a bad idea. But my intention is to have no front bumper. If I do that then I don't want those parts of the fender hanging there in the wind. I just don't like the look of them sticking down there. So I'm looking for a way to get rid of them and still have a decent looking fender edge right behind the headlights.
I was thinking of getting a fiberglass front bumper and trimming it right at the edge of the slot. Where the tape is showing on the original bumper.



Cutting the bottom half of the fiberglass bumper away and only using the top. Then trim the side parts of the fenders to the same depth of the new half bumper. It would follow the contours of the grill/headlight areas and add a more finished edge to the bottom of the frontend without all the bulk of the rignal front bumper. Mark L

Interesting concept...does losing the front lower fender extension at the half-bumper point provide the needed clearance?

Also, maybe you could have Jim/66bonne's son fab something up? He already has experience doing a '65!
