My brother hauled the new wheels/tires out to my house from his work. I went to work on the VX. The rear was a piece of cake. At least it inspired me to get the front done after seeing the results in the rear.

I was nervous when I saw how much additional room I needed to turn the front wheels. Turn one way, and I needed more room in the front of the well. Turn the other way, and I needed more room in the back of the well. I tried to see roughly how much space was needed in the front, and only take just enough plastic off. It's really amazing how a sawzall with a fine tooth blade will cut through our cladding like a hot knife through butter. I hacked off the corner area of the front pretty quick.

In the back, I pulled out two bolts and 4 plastic push-pin type things that hold the fender liner in. Then I folded the liner up and outta my way, it's thin and flexible. Then I took the sawzall and cut cladding and sheet metal that I thought I needed to remove. Then a few taps with the BFH and a shot of rustoleum flat black, and that was that. I trimmed the inner fender liner a bit because it has a bulge that was in the way. I used heavy duty scissors for that.

That was it. It took a while to do the first fender well. The second was much quicker because I didn't have to measure so much. I knew what needed to be done. It was dark when I finished, so I don't have great pics of the final result, but I would say they make a pretty good improvement to the overall look of the VX. Now it really looks like it will go anywhere...
