There is no kit as you are cutting a hole in the car.

That's just a bad idea no matter how you look at it...a nibbler is a much better tool for this job, and eliminates the possibility of blindly cutting through something with a Dremel. You'll end up with a better cut too. Eastwood sells a really nice one that is hand operated, and really isn't that expensive either.

That's one way. I've done it before with a dremel. Just mark lines and cut. Take ur time. Don't put the whole wheel in. Mine turned out great in my old 3rd gen

I've never seen a nibbler before. I'll have to try one out. Looks pretty easy

I never knew what it was until I used one in college, but that one was an air powered nibbler. When I saw that there were hand operated versions, I went ahead and bought one. Granted, the only thing I've used it for was to cut a trap door, but it did work pretty well for that one task. It certainly didn't have a hard time going through the thin sheet metal on top of the tank.
