what is the best way to remove aluminum siding to install a ledger board. The ledger will be installed on the first row of siding, in the middle of that piece. Therefore, I need to cut off half of the siding for a 48 foot ledger. I thought of using a shallow circular saw with metal blade. Tin snips would be too ragged. Any suggestions?

I'd suggest a bit more detail, so you can get a good quality answer. Maybe a picture or two.
I recently cut a lot of aluminum with a circular saw and an aluminum cutting blade. It works quite well.
