    Default Rear inner fender pannels

    ok today i was starting to put on my rear hd fenders from rustys. i didnt read the directions fully and now on the passenger side i cut off the pinch welds holding the two panels together. so do i need them to be welded together for safety? i know mud will get in the cabin and also probobly wouldn't pass inspection. should i just get some 12 GA steel and weld it in place?

    Yes, I understand. That can be a common mistake. If you can weld or rivet a piece in there it would be good so you don't get water and mud in there

    Yeah, it is a good idea to run a full length tail pipe and keep the holes plugged
