Just wondering out of curiosity, when debumpering.. should you remove that lip the same way you remove the seams? The cut and fold method? Or just hack the whole thing off? |

Yes you need to remover the lip that the bumper bolts too... RTA dont like that bit exposed. If you where to hit someone you would do serious damage to there lower legs.... Not to mention the rest of them... To do it you must grind off about 3 inches, then weld the first inch you just grinder.... Then grind another inch then weld another inch..... All the way along the lip.... However you must let it cool right down befor each weld... Otherwise the heat will distort the metal and you will be in all sorts of trouble.... If done correctly you can do it with no bog.... |

Yea I know about the lip removal.. just asking if it's fine just cutting the lip and doing a butt join along it, instead of doing the proper de-seaming method of folding the seam.. I assume butt joining is fine since it's not any structual significance unlike body seams. Cheers for the help!
