Joe, if he lifts it, then he'll need BIGGER TIRES!

If you can get your hands on a disc grinder, i highly suggest it over a sawzall. A cutoff disc tears through the rubber like butter leaving nice clean cuts, and a grinding disc then cleans up any imperfections. 15 minutes leaves a perfect cut. Of course, when I did mine, I NEEEDED a grinder, cause I had to cut through some metal, too.

Razor blade works just fine!

I think I used an old jigsaw. It was too easy and came out pretty smooth. It doesn't have to be perfect anyway if you're just trimming down the corners on the insides because you can't see that part without sticking your head inside the wheel wells!

Dont waiste any more time... Grab a box cutter and go to town. You will be done in a few minutes. DO IT! Nobody will know. Dont worry she will not bleed.

Do ya have a WWJD bracelet?, cause if Jesus was a VX'r HE would cut the cladding....seriously, it's so easy & so minor you really need not worry.
I used a Japan saw (cuts on the pull stroke & is VERY sharp)

I agree with Joe.... Work out another solution. Chop/grind/angle grinder/chainsaw/melt it off with your heat vision;however you alter that cladding, and there is no situation that will put it back. I do more resto work than anyone should have to. Nothing (except rust) causes more angst than body work some knucklehead chopped at for some seemingly crazy reason . Lift it a bit. No big deal. Inch an' a half...you are there. I don't know what Andrew Jackson would do if he were a VXer, but I am pretty sure you should do what ever YOU like with your car.
