Thanks, looks easy, on a hp thread someone simply V-notched at the pipe, yours looks better, and may be stronger. Probably won't have the headers when the motor goes in, your pictures should help to estimate where to cut. About an 1" on passenger and drivers sides?? Or just passenger side? Thanks looking forward to your updates.

I cut the frame with the plasma and I did an arch because I like smooth arches not agressive sharpe angles. Just my style. It is the same way I did it on the 67 build and it worked great. After it was cut I smoothed it with a 60 grit flap disc.
