How does a person deal with the gap between body and top of bumpers both front and back?
Do you leave a gap, or is there sneaky way to hide it? What has others done?

Thanks, Cayoterun
Someone I knew cu the fronte frame horns off, slid them up so it would align the bumper rigt, then welded them into place. Then he reinforced the area..

On the rear, he had another frame that he cut the rears end from it, then he cut the top side down of the original and welded the end from the spare frame on. Again he reinforced them once they were down.

Drawing is crude, but it gives you an idea what I am talking about.
