Basically, I have a set of lowers that were cut on the yellow line.
The material between the yellow & red lines was removed
The BJ section was moved inboard & then it was welded back together.

The lip was trimmed back to the shock mount & blended. The front lip was done a similar amount....

I did a pair like this. I cut 3/4" and after blending looked factory.
