EDIT- to clarify, the second pic shows a mirror of what I need for the passenger side. I cut this from a good driver side-

Per our phone conversation, here are a bunch of clarification pics of the repair piece I need-

so from the inside, would be the reverse of this-

I think if you just go angle down slightly from about this position outside, with a sawsall you could get both the inner and outer fenders-

approximately the line you would follow-

this is the inner support structure you want to avoid (sawsall might just zip through this though)-

gets a little more complex here, but easier to cut. I have horribly labeled O for a cut from outside, T for a cut that can be done from inside the trunk, and U for a cut from underneath-

That darn support got me.....using the grinder inside the wheel well was the way to go. I found the sawzall, but the blade wasn't very long nor straight. I'll get a pic posted of the piece I cut out. I had to pry up the body metal under the fuel filler and use a hammer and chiesel to break the piece free from that darn support.

Hadn't thought about the gas tank! Yeah, that definitely makes a big impact on this, thanks for doing this for me though

fuel tank; The only thing with a "gas tank" is my lawn mower.

There wasn't any gasoline in the fuel (diesel) tank. I did make sure the grinder didn't get the metal RED hot though when I was cutting near the fuel filler door.
