Talk me into Fenderwell Headers

I'm not - nor will I ever be concerned with originality with this car or any car I ever build. I know some people are and that's fine. Just not for me. This car is a 318 auto on the column car.... but no longer. So I have no reservations cutting the inner fenders as long as structural integrity isn't a concern as stated above by another member. I worry about damaging them from throwback off the front tires and the front tires themselves. What's the max tires size that can be run with 2" fenderwells?

If your car has a cage just put a good set of snout bars in....will more than replace what strength is lost by cutting the sheetmetal...or perhaps fab up something like what I seen in a Mopar magazine not to long ago....it was a triangular brace between the upper shock mount and the firewall....just make sure they clear the headers obviously....
