If it requires mods, that's the cost of doing business.
Granted, i'll be running 17's when I slam it like this, so that photoshop isn't ENTIRELY accurate.

It'd be nearly impossible to do an acceptable job with the fenders on the car, but I think you could do pretty well with them removed. Lay it up on the bench, and get out a cutoff wheel, a steady hand, and plenty of replacement wheels, and go to town. It might be a good idea to practice first, and maybe tape a line as well. I wouldn't try to cut it totally off, but I would cut it down to where the rest of the lip could be finish ground. I understand that the lip adds integrity to the fender (probably more than we can imagine), so it might be a good idea to leave some, and dress the edge appropriately.
My Dad did this to his second sportsman car (a Chevy II), and it looked damn good. The rear is a different animal, but you may be able to clearance crucial areas nonetheless.
Of course, for front clearance, you could always toss in an Econoline straight axle, and go with the old school "weight transfer" look of a gasser. But then, that'd ruin your whole rake, etc...
As an aside: Tom, you of all people should be looking at parts for a Chivvy... whether they are going on a Ford or not. J/K... its all part of real hot rodding...http://secondhandracing.com/Home.aspx
