Bob --- Find your local Snap-On dealer and buy an air driven BODY SAW -- it will do a far nicer job for you.

There are others -- and whatever you do - don't cheap out and buy the Blue-Point junk version (they have zero torque)

Taking big risks is the only way to make big gains.

That is a fact. A few dollars spent up front can save a bunch of time and $$ on the back end.

It's not like looking at rust bubbles appearing from under paint. It's just the start of some enhancements. Cut to cure.

You're a brave man, Bob. You're treating that pretty Fireibird like it's a Falcon . . .

[Panteracer]

Not a falcon?? but with an $1100 dollar paint job done over
25 years ago it makes it somewhat easier to
cut but I know to fix it will cost way more than that
Thinking of wrapping the flairs, hood etc

Not really a body man so trying to make this less painful
and stay out of Paint Jail

Hows your Vette/Falcon coming along??

Thats funny looking luggage. Is that the new "retro" style?

Kiddin aside, are you fabbing rails and dropping it into the "tank location"? How many gallons is it? I'm interested in doing this at some point....
