Looking for tips on cutting out the rear wheel wells on a 62 Falcon for tire clearance, do I use cardboard and get a pattern off the front fender or do I have to figure out a radius somehow ???
 
If you want a true radius, fashion a simple stick "compass".

Use your axle or hub center as the pivot, tape a sharpie or a hunk o' crayon to the other end, sweep a mark. Repeat as many times as necessary to take as much or as little as you like.

I like the cardboard pattern off the front if you want them to sorta match. Do like DR. C says, then put your cardboard pattern up there to get a feel for which you like best, or parts of each.
 
Well, I did the cardboard pattern, how’s it look ? I bought a bunch of machines from Eastwood so I’m gonna try to build flares next.
