So, I will be chopping up a teener in the near future for parts etc. and to open up my parking space for another teener. What lines should I follow while demolishing this poor beast in order to save the usefull pieces? Obviously the unboltable gets unbolted, but in terms of the sectioning of the carcass, how should a butcher proceed? Where should I cut? Where shouldn't I cut?

When I want to salvage the good parts os a tub, I try to keep the cuts in the bad parts and leave the pieces as big as I can. I left the last one that I kept in front and back halves until I knew what I was going to need. I did cut out the front trunk floor as big as I could so anyone that needed it could drill out the spot welds if necessary and use the piece. I eventually cut the back half into essentially quarters. One of which was used on my /6 resto. The front half later had a fender removed, but is otherwise still intact, so the winshield frame and side door jam sections are still usefull.
It's not an exact science... |
