[QUOTE="MichaelChad, post: 888220, member: 14725"] I don't think you can do it that way. Cutting material out from the top would change the radius (make it smaller) and it wouldn't fit against the bedside properly. What I had to do (and the OP if you look close at the pics), is cut a 2" strip out just above the bottom lip. Then because of the changing radius between the two parts (think about cutting two lanes from the middle of a high school track) you have to cut the inner piece in two, and plastic weld the two inner pieces back to the outer piece starting from the ends. You wind up with a gap between the two inner pieces in the middle that has to be filled with new material and plastic welded in. Then of course the welds ground and filled, and finally finished. It's very similar to chopping a top if you're familiar with that process. [/QUOTE]
