Definitely go slow. And measure before you cut. I took my time and it came out nice I think. I used a sawzall.
Thank you sir!

Thank you for the input doing it today so ill post up pics of how it came out.

Seems to be the trend. Can always take more off.

Thanks for all the input. Much appreciated
