Ron a Butt weld also risk being a weak point of not done right. You take 2 pieces of metal, put them together, weld them then grind down the seem and you can't do that without making the metal at the joint at least some what thinner. Since mine was lapped and I changed it to a but weld I left the lap behind the fender to make it a little thicker.
