A couple thoughts... Maybe cut the majority off with a torch, and just do clean-up grinding. Or take them to a local welder and let them cut off the excess. They'll probably be good enough with a torch that you'll have just a little grinding to do (definitely true for me that I'd do a %$%##^-y job!). I find folks like that are sympathetic to restorers and don't charge much for their services. And I would assume there's a decent amount of grease and flammable gunk in the housings that you'll have some flames and a ton of stinky smoke!
