Cutting the plastic fender

Tony,

I haven't done it on the Fury but I have on other plastic fenders.

I took a small cutoff wheel and did the contour cut going slow and not getting too hot. I did not cut all the way through on the first or second pass...just made the indentation. Finally ... All the way through. Then I sanded the edge down smooth and then even smoother. Repainted and looked good.

I was going to try with a zip saw but those things can get away from you!

Tony,

I think I would do it Painters way.
But, a belt sander with several different grits of sanding belts could produce a nice job too. The key either way is go slow to avoid heat.

Has anyone had experience cutting the front fender yet?
I'm wanting to shorten it and kind of curve it like the front of it.

I know it's plastic, just wondering what would be the best way. Too much heat from cutting and the melting begins..

Any feedback would be appreciated
