Paging Madman...(or anyone, inner fender trimming advice) I was doing a search and I ran across the pics of your rear suspension. Had a question for ya. I forgot if you car is minitubbed or not. I'm looking at the area of the inner fenderwell that needs to be trimmed to fit a larger tire. Is there any structural integrity in that area that cutting too much off would harm it? I already cut off the bumpstop area but haven't trimmed that whole area. In the pics your's looks pretty smooth like it had been all trimmed away. Thanks for any help .

You can cut that out. Some people run around without replacing it. Other people trim that all out and then weld in a flat piece of steel to tie it all back in together. If you do a lot of street driving it wouldn't be a bad idea to stitch in a piece there.
