OK here is what I did . sanded primed and fit the flare.
marked all the spots for rivets. 3/4" from edge spaced 5 7/8" apart

Then used double sticky tape and stuck the fender to the car.
marked the layout and position so I could repeat.

pulled off flare marked 1 1/2 inches in and made a cut line.

Without a single beer I took a deep breath and fired up my Hitachi jig saw with extra fine blade

30 seconds later I had a big ass hole where the fender was.
