The actual cut/grind/measure/weld part of this process took probably less than 4 hours, with probably another 3 to 4 remaining (to weld the plate) to finish the job.

....and another $100 to extend the drive shaft I failed to remember last night. Still probably easier than the body work. Stay tuned.
