is this good???

well, my truck has been sitting for a month because i lost my license, the ignition wont work... but whatever, heres the scoop. i noticed my fender flare was hanging off today, so i yanked it and realized my fender lip was GONE, rusted out totally, so i guess i have to now cut all of them out, which i guess will allow me to shove some monster tires in there. now heres the question is this a good thing or a bad thing? do i feel bad that my poor truck is rotting away or feel good that someday i can shove some big shoes under it when i have the 1200 bux to drop on new rubbers? OR.... should i weld away and replace it?

It's all good. Get out the Saws-All and cut away, you won't feel guilty like you do cutting up a good fender. Then get some cut-out fender flares to cover up the bigger meats. Hope you get the rig started and running again soon.

after cutting up your fender be sure to paint the bare metal areas or use some Por 15 its like a rinolining and will keep it from rusting further.
good luck
