To cut or not to cut

[night train 2]

To cut, I got the back two cut they turned out pretty good
I tried pretty much everything you guys suggested and what worked best for me was my gasket scraper heated with a torch cut like butter then smoothed them out with a wire wheel

tried a hammer chisel heated but seemed a little uncontrolable but worked good just wasnt clean
sawzall with a dull blade cut to rough and was okward
dremel multimax worked be it seemed it would of took twice as long
router was a mess and melted the rubber to fast

everything worked good but with the scraper and a torch it only took about 1 1/2 hours to do both
So if i have a groover I think that would be a winner I think im gonna order one to finish them up

thanks for the replies and suggestions

well i got my blades for the groover but i cant keep my air lines to my shop furnace from freezing, maybe by the end of the week i can get my tire finished.

Thats what I used was a scraper and small propane torch with map gas worked slick for me
