That is really cool. So how do you hog out the wheel wells?

I use a burr bit... looks like a hand grenade on a stick... fits in your drill....
if you haven't used one before use a glove on your "holding hand"...
being right handed I like to work clockwise hogging wheel wells but you will find what works best for you...
never try and hog out a hole, it will grab the bit and tear the car body from your hand... use a round file.
for fine filing use the drill in reverse, it won't bite as hard...

Another tool to I use in hogging out a wheel well is a rotary tool. They have an assortment of metal grinding bits - this is my favorite style.

Be sure to also wear a face shield or goggles along with a glove - as the metal does fly around! A mask also helps!
