After spending almost 2 weeks (a little at a time every other day or so) of trimming the front into position, I finally convinced myself that it was time to cut it in half. First I decided to omit the cardboard piece that Van's suggests to use, and instead I used some red electrical tape to mask a line for me to follow when cutting.
Next I heated up the garage to about 80-85 degrees, and then started to make the cut with a die-grinder and the cutting disc supplied from Van's in the kit.
The above photo was the second take, the first snapshot my son took of me I still looked way too nervous making this cut
I remembered to smile slightly on the second one. 
I found it better to do the following: Make sure you clamp the rear half to the frame. Start my make a cut line about 1/2 way deep. then cut the entire top area through first, and leave a little on the sides as the last area to penetrate through.
Here's my end result of the day. ............... WHEW
