Yes. I did just cut the outside out. It's very critical that the inside panel is in the correct location. The flange is pretty small you don't have a lot of room to be off location. I used a 220 spot welder to weld the flange.

Test fit went really well. Pro performance & Porterbuilt you guys have a really nice kit. This thing goes together way better than I could have expected. Thanks for all the quality parts.
