I am a little worried about using my air cut-off wheel tool and mig in this area since the fuel tank is right behind this member. Sparks will be a flyin. I think it will be fine to do since there is a barrier of the back of the member between where im cutting and the fuel tank. But I just wanted a second opinion before I start cutting. I Don't really feel like blowing up this weekend (laugh) . Any comments would be appreciated. -Paul #16811
