Reply to "Shortening Pan"

@kcracing28

Before you start cutting things up and especially before you start messing with the tubes inside of the tunnel, take a close look at the rear of the pan where the tubes exit.  Each tube is attached to the frame with small spot welds.  Carefully break those welds (I used an angle grinder or a Dremel and a HD cut-off wheel) and then when the pan is opened and the chevron-shaped section removed you just push the front and rear halves back together and let the tubes slide out the back.  After everything is welded back together, spot weld the tubes back to the frame and cut off the excess.

Using the 2 X 4's to get everything straight and level works (so does steel 2" angle iron if you're OCD), just take your time and measure everything, like, 25 times, then tack weld it every few inches and then return and finish weld it.
