[Chevelle-list] Trimming the framerail, what cutter?

[Josh Egler]

We had to do a small amount of trimming, but yes it just does fit between
the rails.  It is also really just a little too wide (front to back)  to sit
clear against the braces like a stock tank.  It would work, just not quite
as well as I wanted it to.

I ended up cutting the brace just in front of where the hold down attaches
and basically flattened it out, giving the tank just a little more room to
tuck up closer to the body.
