flip front clip questions

[Flick RRMC]

Has anyone done a no cut all metal flip front clip?
Is there a kit out there?
I started one and just want to see if anyone has any pics of what they may have done to maybe help in my endeavor...my buddy tells me its pointless and will never work and this is what makes me want to get it to work even more

I recall a homemade kit someone made years ago...the clip slid forward then rotated. It had to in order for the rear of the fenders to clear the cab/firewall.

Yes it has to move forward 25 inches to clear the cab/firewall well so far in my mock up anyway....

if your going big tires and mud truck .

why not just use a c50-c60 front clip .

then drw fender flares from a duelly truck box on the rear and it looks real good .

What's the point? For a show truck or something?

About 5 years ago i got hurt at work and have a real hard time getting into the engine bay to do anything in there and it will be helpfull....And it has been kinda fun trying to figure out how to get it to work

just cut the back of the fenders, makes it eleventy times easier of a project... you can make it pretty discreet...

 

[Flick RRMC]

Any pics of the process of that by any chance ryoken?

nah, I don't have any pics.... just a standard cut fender flip, like a glass nose is.. but for steel, you add an inner "guide" on the backside of the sheetmetal on the lower, for the upper 1/2 to slide over... it keeps it tight and lined up once closed...

Excellent reasons.
