Here's my instructions:
Step one: brace engine mounts so they don't move.
Step two: cut ass end off bike.
Step three: line everything up and make sure it is all straight and square and looks how you want it.
Step four: weld new ass end onto bike.
I may have over simplified that a little bit, but I think if you have the skills to weld a hardtail onto the bike and build a custom, then you should be able to figure it out without too much for instructions.
I think for the TC Bros hardtail, they tell you to cut the lower rails about 1 inch behind the exhaust mounting brackets, and cut the backbone (center post) under the rear engine mount at the lowest point you can.

Just make sure its straight so it trails correctly. You dont want to drag the rear tire!
