^^^ May work depending on location. If you get real desperate, just drill a bunch of holes. Been a whild since I cut a front end apart but am pretty sure you can do most needed areas with a $10 tin snip. I am assuming you may be cutting for short route piping. Grinder also works well. Shouldn't need to do a ton of cutting.

dremel? i used that to cut the sheet metal in my trunk to get rid of my spare tire well...otherwise i could get an angle grinder, but i'd have to drive to far.

I have a 3 1/5" wheel cutter. Currently has one new disc for metal on there. If you're willing to provide a couple new discs, I can currently come help you out next weekend. Or you can give me $5, so I can buy new discs for future use. :P
I may probably pick up a metal grinder by that time too. I'm trying to get a whole new set of tools for home so I don't have to keep bringing them from work.
Sometimes I forget to bring them to work and it kills my labor time at work.

Call me up!

Sawzall. It's the only way to cut for that piping. If you want to pick up a metal cutting blade I could help out. Most of mine are toast.

all i used when i did my front mount was a sawzall, maybe used to for less than 2 minutes to get what i needed done on the car

I have probably cut apart 5 cars or so for FMIC kits and none probably took longer than 20 mins. There isn't a whole lot going on up there and a plasma cutter is quite expensive for us at home mechanics.

Have you taken it apart yet? There isn't a whole lot up there. You can route the piping right around the radiator with a little cutting or route it through the stock hole (probably have to cut it bigger).
