Question Cutting 1/8" steel plate to make a 1930 Diebold Safe fit a space?

I just moved and there is a perfect spot to stick my 1930's Diebold Safe, the trouble is I need to cut off a portion of the back flange to make it fit the spot. Cutting drywall is not an option as the foundation and existing cabinets won't allow it.

Question? I have an industrial duty worm drive, right angle drive Skil saw, with the right abrasive cut-off blade can I cut off 1/8" steel plate, or should I hire a welder to do the deed?

Edit: I'm sure what you see is red lead primer underneath the paint, and yes I do know how to protect myself from lead welding and cutting dust/fumes.
