first off i wouldnt brag about hitting potholes. its not something to be proud of. second, has your car been on a frame machine? if not you dont know that its straight. my scamp had its bumper hit and the frame got bent. but thats not the point. i agree with your point that your car will twist WITH or WITHOUT the inner fenders in. thats why i said i would leave them in, AND brace it. since these cars are so flexible. not add to it, by cutting even more sheetmetal out. but i could be wrong. i am still learning. have a nice day and good luck with the potholes.:)
