I cut off 3-1/2" from the bottom of the nose tonight. The skin was pretty easy to remove once I found the spot welds. Whole job took about 3 hours. This was not as scary as I thought!















Rust was getting pretty bad - probably due to the leaky windshield gaskets.













You can see where moisture was collecting between the inner and outer layers.















Better shot of the inner support piece rot. Bottom of the A pillars are also totally gone - that should be fun!
