p.s. or if anyone knows where i can get it done for cheap that would also help

just use a grinder and make sure you are in the middle of the shop when you do it so that you get metal dust all over everything *cough* Fred *cough*

if i use a cut-off wheel to section it out like u would with a chopsaw then clean it up would that work, or maybe even a torch and clean it up with a grinder

all the chromoly tubing we did for the racecar was done with a chopsaw and a bench grinder to shape it.
