Thanks for adding discussion over the virgin panels, I'm pretty much at the same point as you.
Are you going to cut slits in the inner fender tub? or just hammer up or leave it is as? I'm concerned about wheel clearance if i don't touch the inner tub and just weld a patch between that and the new fender.
Curious to hear your thoughts and plan over it, thanks!

Wheel well lining fits perfectly. I'll clean up my chaotic initial cuts first, then butt weld the new flare on, then seal up the cavity with my strip (I'll spray some epoxy primer up in there as much as I can maybe with a 360 wand or something; cavity wax later on that maybe I can feed through the trunk).
Just wanted to add my findings as most people might be starting off with virgin quarter panels like I am, whereas OP already had previous pie cut work and had to cut the whole tub out.
