Default Houston-area: Anyone good to cut/weld aluminum oil pan

I have a 6.0 truck oil pan I need cut down. Is there anyone local I can trust for that?

'87 XJ6. I'm trying to keep costs down where possible. I already have a truck pan. An inch or a little more would do it. It doesn't sit low like an F-body.

an h3 pan will give you the clearance like a traditional sbc oil pan. let me guess, you want to cut off the front of the sump? itll prolly cost around the same to modify your existing pan than just buying the h3 pan, im just sayin.

I just need to cut an inch or a little more off the bottom of the sump. The pan would work as-is, but it simply hangs too low. It's gotta be a lot cheaper than a new pan/pickup. Here's what I want:
