I'm not trying to be argumentative so please bear with me as I try to piece this together so I can understand it.
Please tell me where I am mistaken:
As I understand it (for the front), lifting by the area under the fenders, which is forward of the front pinch welds, is what causes the fenders to bow out.
I grabbed KingLT1's image and tweaked part of it to illustrate my thinking.
If what is under the fender sheet metal in the "bad lift area" is weak, so bends, thus bowing the fenders, how does that make it so that the pinch weld area is no longer strong?
