Addressing some rear tire clearance issues. The tires are rubbing on the inner front fender well and the fender lip. Sounds easy, except that the car is a rust bucket with old repairs. Gave the inner fender some "love" with a 5lb sledge, but rusty panels are disintegrating. I'll need to install some patch panels to keep rocks out of the cab. I also wanted to just pinch the fender lip closed, but the PO had used calking as a base for rust repair. This was a "no-go" so I got our the cutter and just cut the lip off altogether. This will need a little more work.

Also packaged up a "basic" tool kit. I'm still assembling comprehensive spares and larger emergency tools.
