Need to open up my outside rear wheel well a little

[OldFolksMopar]

I saw Foose do this with a finished car. With the wheel on and on the ground he used a piece of 1/4 inch bar stock and slowly massaged it out. He taped the area that touched the wheel well. I think he started in the middle and worked his way out. No paint issues. Seeing how you only need an 1/8 inch, this could work. Better than a BFH any day.

It was way more than a 1/8th of an inch,once the car ws sitting down on all 4's. It took quite a bit of stretching to get it to fit and now I got about 1/4" on the outside.
I tried the rolling trick and that worked for the very low part of the wheelwell but it really needed a lot higher up in the wheelwell.

Here's the finished product. All 4 wheels and tires replaced. Maintenance is key to avoid costly accidents.

Doesn't sound like there's much of a street presence there. Not like the street cars of New York where we know how to make power.
But you don't go outside much. What's up with that? :jerk::jerk::sign10:

I've seen Chip Foose take a 2x4 and pry the fender out on Overhaulin', can't remember which show, but it worked.
