I was just wondering what some of you did when you body dropped to the rockers.. fold the pinch under for a litte more support or just cut them off and weld the seam... or keep them and just drag it off... I want it to lay flat down and with that gone it gives me like 3/4" which is an ok amount.. if you did fold them over how did you do it? hammer and some wood or what.. let me know! thanks

I've read that you do relief cuts into the rocker every few inches to make it easier to fold under. Then use an adjustable wrench to start the folding, and a hammer to finish bending it up.

Mine won't be rolling this summer on its own, still need full suspension, 302 swap, and interior. But that would be cool to see, I just won't have a lot of time with my little baby girl on the way. Thanks for the invite though.
