Crunch time, I've ponied up for a Driver's Edge event so now have to get it track ready. Before doing a little bodywork with a Louisville slugger and a helping hand from a friend, I snapped a couple of pics.

Hope they come out ok...
+1 The only time I've heard of a baseball bat being used on sheetmetal involved an ex-gf.
Ive heard of it and seen it done on Jesse James Lincoln. Turned out horrible until they did more work on them
The idea was to get that inside edge of the fender up and out of the way. I also ended up moving the rear flare a bit outwards. Because the OD of the tires is pretty close to stock, the bat was a little small. I also used the stock driveshaft. That worked pretty well. Between the two, the inside lip is smoothly folded up and out of the way, so I hope it's resolved. Because the springs are so stiff, we weren't able to compress the chassis enough to test clearance. That will have to wait for the track.
