Treeves, as far as shortening you can check out my pics and see how I did it. I shortened mine by 36" to lower the cost of decking it and cuz I wanted to. I decided against narrowing it. I will say this, tho. Either be sharp or get someone that is sharp with a torch. It has to be really straight when you weld it back. Have a durn good welder weld the rear back on. You don't want it to fall off going down the hiway.
