cleaner cuts for the fenders?

Jackpot, that is they. Now everyone do yourself a favor and buy one so you can fit the next biggest tires.

Hey KrazieXJ what trim did you use to cover the lines that you cut? where do you get it?
Thanks

It's called Protekto Trim. I got it at a local KNIPPS. It's 5/8 inch wide and black. IMO the tim is the key to the clean cut. Just lay it slightly over the edge so it can turn a wavy not straight cut into the straightest looking cut and it covers up the raw edge.

can't beat the price unless you don't have an air compressor.

I don't have the compressor LOL.... and from what I can tell this one wants a "GOOD" (read high air pressure/flow) one to work right...

CUTS LIKE BUTTA!

Thanks for the tip! I picked one up at Harbor freight for $50 (not the one on sale).

Absolutely the cleanest cut on sheetmetal out of jigsaw, cutting wheel, and sawzal. NO sharp edges at all. Can run my finger along it. I was temted to try a nibbler too but they didn't seem thick enough.

The only hard part was controling the sucker. It just wanted to keep cutting in any direction plus the blade was a little flimsy which made control a little harder too.

Thanks again!

It's a local store. They sell automotive products mainly for the exterior.
