holy moly i agree, the amount of time saved cutting something like that out would help a ton!

you really need a plasma cutter lol. pretty sure my truck is getting a 7.8l soon so ill be watching for ideas.

eah, everyone always says that.
I don't need a plasma,
a good friend has one right around the corner.
and I do have access to it.
but it took me 30 minutes to cut that out. woulda took the same time to get over there, drink a few beers and cut it out.
I don't have an issue using cut off wheels.

So are you swapping the body and everything over to the F-650 Chassis? How hard is it to make the body fit?
