1970 Super Stock or Pro Stock Darts

Yeah, it is an old thread now. I have a 1970 Dart I will be doing the Super Stock wheel openings to. I'm just tired of not having any room for big tires. Love what your doing with your Dart! Can't wait to see it when it is finished. When you did your wheel openings, do you think it would be any easier/better to cut the opening, then weld on the lip and trim the inside of the lip to where it should be instead of folding that 1/2 inch of metal. Your openings do look really nice!
One thing I think could work is using the folded metal to tuck and weld the outside tub after you manipulate the tubs, then weld a strip for a lip. That would give a nice thick panel that you can weld too
