Bobbing the bed..

Bobbing the bed..
Idk if this goes here, or in metal fab.. but it can get moved accordingly.
*this goes out to guys that know a thing or two about welding sheet metal/body work..
I forgot when i work next saturday(and don't know about sunday yet), but if i work in the morning I think I'm gonna start my bob/dovetail project..
When i bob it, I'm gonna be cutting 8+" out of the bed (still undecided) How do i reattach the 2 halves? do i stick a piece of metal behind it and tack/spot weld all the way down? then sand and bondo the crack?
once its bobbed i can dove tail it.. then build a rear bumper, then shock hoops, then longer shocks in the rear.. oh boy, its exciting!! haha

I'm bored
I want to do something, and im not gonna take the cab/bed off until they're completely beat to hell
the bed is still kinda straight, so why not keep the truck look until the bed sides are destroyed, then flat bed it.. and once the cab is trashed Ill tear it off and turn it into something like this
was a toyota truck, still has part of the frame left lol.. sittin on 42s

i've never seen a ranger w/ a utility bed?
they make 'em for tacomas, but no one makes squat for rangers.
if my cab/bed are trashed bad enough for a flat bed, everything's coming off and its gonna look like that buggy I posted. I'm not gonna bother doing a cab swap.. you see yoda truggys all the time, whens the last time you saw a ranger truggy??
