Default Can this body pinch seam be cut at a 45* angle?
Even though it will never hit on my application, is it possible to cut this off at a 45* angle and sealed then touched up with factory touchup paint? Its not hurting anything but appearance wise, it would look alot better cut off some. Maybe im just talking out my rear but it bugs me. Anyone dealt with this issue yet?

Default Yep!
Are you kidding?
People have been cutting them for years now!
Or they use a BFH to bend it in.
