I put hinges, located such that the bottom edge was still on the uncurved part, barely. I figured the lower they were, the easier to get the hinges pins out. Or the bolts if you use angles.

Hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like I cut it 4-1/2 to 5 inches up from the bottom. It is just high enough that the angle is welded on the flat part of the side just above the radius of the bottom of the support

I like 5 inches from the bottom. You don't need to jack the front end up as much that way.
