Question Fender triming

Winter is coming, well the kids are back to school anyway, and I plan on changing a few things on my 2002 T100. Before the site was updated there was a thread/tech note on shortening the stock fenders. Somebody had graciously gone to the trouble of formating downloadable templates and measurements. I thought that I had it bookmarked but can't find it. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks to everyone that posts advice on here, saves a lot of people a lot of grief.

I just used a piece of card stock, or heavy paper. I held it under the edge of the front fender and traced the shape. Then cut it out, move it as far back as you want. I put it back to the fender supports so it still had full contour right up to the supports. Draw your line on some painters tape and your done. You'll have to adjust your template as you go from the middle to the sides.

I got a roll of 4mm "pinstripe" tape from a car body shop, marked out the shape with the tape. Cut round with a combination of a dremel and a hacksaw, removed the tape and painted the cut edge.
Job done!

Here's mine after D9 cut it back. I had him cut it back far enough so I could get rid of the fender struts completely. Later a bit of silver pinstriping tape was added.

Thumbs up That was the Wiki

That was the Wiki I was talking about yesterday in the "Rear Fender Elimination Kit" thread. I forgot it was a D9 undertaking but I should have known re-reading the detailed explanation and the end result.

Loxpump - I love the very slight silver accent pin striping around your bobbed fenders, it's a classy humble touch.

As soon as Brent sends me my Lucas taillight with sport blinkers I'm going to bob the rear fender ala D9 clear-cut directions (hopefully with Uncle Charlie's help and his Dremel).

My headers and Preds will get powder coated this winter as well.
