would you cut this piece of metal?
 

Im doing the plumbing for a fenderwell intake on my GP, and theres 2 pieces of metal in my way. Not sure what they are there for, but theyre in the way of the drier hose that im trying to use. would you cut these pieces of metal, or just leave them alone and say **** it?

can you get a hole saw in there? if you can get something in there to make a hole big enough to get a piece of tubing threw i say go for it. i wouldn't remove teh whole panel though.

From the looks of it that's part of your radiator support. I probably wouldn't cut the whole thing off, maybe cut a hole instead.

Id say cut no further than those two holes seen in that second pic. Almost like connect the dots, but judge on the width. I agree with Steve, I wouldnt cut the hole thing off.

okay, ill be able to fit it through with just that much cut...now i just need to get my hands on a hole saw or something

Dremil?

dont have one...ive been meaning to buy one, but right now moneys tight, i just ordered some new tires. ill go down to my work and poke around in the back, might have an cutting wheel or something i could use.

i have one, if you need it.

ill see what i can get from my work, otherwise ill get to ya on aim
