Trap Door What did you guys use to cut a trap door for a fuel pump install? I don't want to risk using a cutoff wheel. I'm afraid I might blow myself up lol.

Thanks for the reply...thats what I wanted to use ideally, but I dont have an air compressor. I took the risk and used a dremmel wheel. It worked fine, and I'm alive to tell about it....no explosions. 
I stuffed a wet rag over the fuel lines, to catch all the sparks I was making.

Also remember 98's are different and you cut in a different location than 99+ F-bodies. On the 98, you cut the same size hole, just right at the front-most portion (about an inch back from the curve).

For a 98: Go to- http://www.worldisround.com/articles/12533/index.html
Just change the top and side measurements to 1" and leave the bottom one the same. That made a perfect hole for my 98.
