QUOTE(Dr Evil @ Jun 9 2008, 07:59 PM)  My goal is to build a vintage racer. I have restored one 914 already but want to have a little fun with this one. It is in need of a lot of work but that's the part i enjoy most. I have the car completely stripped down and parts are in for the rear floor pan, cross member, and inner firewall. The car is on a rotisserie and has been supported with braces in the door wells and measurements are dead on. That's the good part. The bad part comes next. Time to remove those pieces. That's where i can use some advice. Is there a best way to remove those or do i just start cutting away? Attached thumbnail(s)

If it were me, I'd do them one at a time starting with the firewall. Then I would do the cross member and finish with the floor. That way, you are retaining as much structural integrity as possible through the whole process. I would worry about things wracking if all three were taken out at once unless you have braced the bejeezus out of it diagonally across the floor.
