I tossed around the idea of using a jigsaw or sawzall to cut it out, but eventually settled on a Dremel with a 90 degree adapter after many discussions with my metal working friends. I had my doubts having never actually used one and only owned one because I had inherited it when my mom passed away. At least 3 people specifically said the Dremel was the only way.

I used the red tupperware lid that you see in one of the pictures as my template. It took me quite a few hours laying in the bed and about 47 of those cute little 1" cutoff wheels! You just have to be very careful slowly carving at the metal on the radiuses.
