Front roll pan... Cutting frame to install?
I didn't realize the frame horns had to be cut to install a roll pan... Frame is already painted so now I'm not so sure I'm going to go through with it or not...

That's no big deal. Just touch up the end of the frame when done. No one is even going to see your touch up.
If something that minor is a show stopper for you, then maybe you should change the quote in your signature

if you do cut the frame horns save the cut off pieces tack weld them in the frame rail if you ever want to return them to stock you'll have the pieces

Re: Front roll pan... Cutting frame to install?
X2. I bought my truck with a roll pan. The PO torched the horns off without regard to accuracy and pitched them out. When I decided I want a bumper and put them back on it was a huge PIA. The measurements have to be exact or you end up with alot of shimming.

Re: Front roll pan... Cutting frame to install?
I wouldn't ever do that, because once I do something I don't worry about going back, but that is a GREAT idea

Re: Front roll pan... Cutting frame to install?
I know, I know... some of you guys cringe at the thought of changing the stock look, but Im doing a "custom" build here... and bumpers just aint custom... so..
I have a valance from a 69 Camaro along with the front spoiler... I will be using the sections of the Camaro valance with the lights in the roll pan for the truck and fitting the spoiler on it as well... When you do a "one off" build, stuff has to actually be one off... Along with the hood, the roll pan will tie in and should be all the custom body work I'll do other than a smooth tailgate. There will be no "torching" of the frame, I promise if that makes you feel better

Keep the bumper, they look so much better with bumpers
