When I cut my '65 fenderwells for Cyclone's, I accidentally switched the right and left templates for cutting on the first cut, which means the hole on the passenger side came out a little larger than necessary.
I don't know what all the fuss is about, we replace/weld complete floorboards and quarter panels to repair rotted sheet metal all the time. The little fenderwell cutouts can easily be patched back in later. Dropping in headers from above in five minutes time is a pleasure on these vehicles. Just my opinion, of course.
And the look is Badass.
