Default running charge pipes (need to cut fender well)

okay, i need to cut through my drivers side fender well in order to run my piping. theres like one layer of metal, a space in between and then another layer of metal. what would be the best way to cut a hole through them? i already tried a metal hole cutter and because the surface is un even it did nothing but go crazy. i have been using a dremel, but i cut a 2 inch hole in like 15 minutes, is there a faster way? maybe a special bit?

Definitely a saw-zaw - get a little air powered one.

I'd personally dremel it. But I guess sawzall could work.

A hole saw in a drill should work best.. Sounds like you didn't get the pilot bit for it. Its probably too late now so try a jig saw They are like a sawz all but smaller and have a much thinner blade to make the circle.
