    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*

    Stumble in to the liquor store
    With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
    I know just what I'm lookin for
    Thunderbird will do just fine.

    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
