Cutting radiator support

I am doing the SUX2BU ram air and I need to cut some of the radiator support. My question is what would be the best tool to cut some of the radiator support?

I just bought a die grinder and I'm hoping that does the trick

You'll go through a good deal of wheels. it would be better to get a real cutting wheel. i think i used a sawzall

Mark a cut line then use a sawzaw for quick cutting close to the lines, but not on them, then use the angle grinder to edge right up to the lines so it is perfect up to the lines.

If you use the angle grinder to cut get the really thin .090 disks they cut sheet metal awesome.
