ill have to check that out, on mine, it wasn't just the glue, it was over an inch of vinyl undercoating sprayed inside the wheel well. Heat gun, wire wheel, none of that stuff worked that well on that thickness from that angle.
Id be interested to see what dieselgiant's solution was, but I just finally cut the sucker off and started shaving the crap off with a box cutter. I remember feeling the sort of rage purplecomputer has shown here.
EDIT- Naa, he just unbolts and removes a fender from an 83 no problems, unless there is another pictorial with a glued on fender.
here is an example of what dieselgiant did not deal with. With all bolts out, this fender still had inches of vinyl holding it to the inner fender. up front it was almost 2 inches thick. That crap was tenacious-
