I have a dremel tool but is there another tool that would make it easier and faster? Yea, I have a sawzall..but it might get ugly.

Default RotoZip and the 90deg elbow. Get some 3"(or whatever size) metal wheels and its a breeze(to cut)

Takes a while to get the fit correct though on the side bumper brackets/mounts. Think I have some pics if interested Dave.

Default thanks Hal, Do you remember where you bought it?
