Why is it that some people cut the housing?

Also, what do you use to cut the housing.
Reason to cut the housing is for ground clearance. The bottom flange on the housing and the blow plate are usually the lowest point on the bottom of these cars. The metal is very hard but it cab be cut with a cutoff wheel. If you do this, you need to be patient. It took me about an hour to modify the Lakewood bellhousing for my ERA cobra.
