I finally found a 1" -to 3&1/2" tubing cutter. Will prob buy it, along with some beefy U channel to jig up the tube for welding. Will likely put it with the channel up on here to sell after i make my 2 cuts, and weld it up.
I might be interested in this set-up after you are done with it - dependent on the cost of course. I am also wanting to do an 8.8 on my Dart and this would aid me in getting it done.
ohhh BTW - also wanted to send out a quick Thank you for all the posting that you are doing - it helps us NON-Mechanically inclined feel a lil more comfortable in taking this task on for ourselves.
