Re: Fender tab rot repair
Without seeing exactly what you are cutting out I can't say for sure but I would support it anyway just to be sure it doesn't shift. All you really need to do is support the frame rail under the spot you are working, gravity pulling the center of the car down is the only force working against you. No expense really, just a jack stand or some blocks will do.
