I might even give you a call here in the next few days if your not to busy because i have a few other questions

If you're cutting all the metal off, and plan to haul it somewhere for metal replacement, I personally would build a body cart to put the car on and then brace the heck out of it. I even used 1" square tubing and welded from my cart to the rockers. Basically, my car is welded to the cart in 4 places (I think). You're gonna need to brace the heck out of it if you plan to move it. Call me anytime after 5:00pm CST. I'd be happy to talk to you about my learnings through this process. If you need my number, PM me.
