**Make sure you are wearing Eye Protection at all times**

A trip to the ER doesn't get the project done quicker. Besides, if you cant open your Eyes, how can you see your wonderful work? Duh!

I made sharp punch dimples at the corners for reference and some along strategic points to help guide me while cutting. To get started, I just cut enough with the sizz-wheel to fit the Sawsall blade through. The forward section required three starter cuts/slots.
The lower vertical line cut starts up from the bottom pinch weld area, no need for a starter cut. I kept the Seat Back Lower Tab in the stock area with that staggered cut rather than having to weld a new tab on.
