You will go thru quite a few cut off discs , 0.045 inch thick work very well. I have done half a dozen windows and doors. We always welded in a angle iron angle frame to the container. Select your window size so the window goes from outside corrugation to outside corrugation. We installed a 3 x 3 x 3/16 angle for windows and 3 x 5 for doors.

Looks like this is the answer you’re looking for.
It can certainly be done with 4.5 angle grinder maybe quicker in other ways but certainly can be done and probably very well with some planning.

Thank you for all the input and suggestions. Much appreciated.
I have a friend from church who has a portable rig including a cutting torch. He will do the cuts for me.
