LCA brackets cut off

Next came the tedious and extremely dirty task of cutting off the stock lower control arm brackets. I tried a reciprocating saw, wheel cutter and angle grinder (with a cutting wheel). Out of all of them, the angle grinder worked best by far. I went through 4 cutting discs, but I got it done. By the end, I and everything around me was covered in ultra-fine metal dust. Not a friendly thing to have in a mechanical project. I was so miserable (sweat + metal grit = uncomfortable) that I stopped to take a shower and get all the grit off. My daughter said I looked like I had beard stubble all over my face.
