So I need to make a decision on my 67

[dodgestang]

The stainless wheel trim (and by extension) fender lips rub with the new tire/suspension combo in the rear.

I can:
1. Attempt to trim the stainless trim and fender lip back some with a cut off wheel.
2. Attempt to roll the stainless trim and fender lip with my eastwood roller
3. Remove the stainless trim and maybe roll the lips (it is close enough that just removing the trim might fix the issue).

I am for # 2. Be care full that the screws for the trim are not pushed into the fender.

If you want to keep the trim, I would cut it down to match the fender lip. Should not be that hard with it on the car.

I was hoping to. I think it gives it a nice look. I was thinking about pulling out the Dewault angle grinder and just running it along the inner lip from the top of the middle and down/out about 2/3 and taking maybe 1/4 of everything all at once.

I agree with Pete.

If you are going to cut off part of the lip, be sure you don't cut off the spot welds which holds the 1/4 skin to the inner.

I'd remove the stainless, roll the 1/4 lip, trim the stainless where needed, then re-install.

How much wider is the stainless than the fender lip?

I unscrewed the stainless, used my fender lip roller on the rear fenders, then used a brass hammer and beat the stainless into the same shape as the rolled fender, re-installed my screws....and it all seems to be good.

That's what I was going to recommend. If'n you would have answered my damn question.
