One inch holes in frame

To install Rusty's kit, you have to drill or cut 1" holes on the inside of the frame rails. I used a stepped drill bit to drill holes on the left side of the frame. But the right side is a really tight fit if you don't want to remove the exhaust (which I didn't). You could use a torch or a plasma cutter, but I don't have either. So instead, I used a die grinder with a rasp bit (actually 4) to "hog out" the holes. I also had to use the grinder to clean up the holes on the left side too.
