Anyone ever notch the fenderwells to gain seat/legroom clearance?

I need to either fix this problem or sell the 5 and buy a 7.........

I just did it in my '71's fiberglass tub. Not very hard. Cut with Sawzall/Jigsaw, pound sheetmetal over hole and rivet/screw in place. Use a little silicone under the new sheetmetal to seal out water from the wheelwell. I was able to move my seat back about 3" like that.. nice and roomy now... I'm probably going to do the same thing with the metal body on my '80 CJ5 too..
