DripRails are Shaved...

This was one thing I was very undecided on the car.  To shave or not to shave.  That was the question.  I liked the way the car looked without it, but was unsure what it might do to the strength of the car if I removed them.  Well finally I decided to go ahead and do it.  By carefully cutting the lip off, grinding it flush, and then carfully welding the panels together, I was able to get amazing results.  It took a lot more work than I expected it to, but it came out wonderful.

I cut only small sections at at time, tackwelding the sections together to prevent the metal from seperating
