What's the best order to cut an A body up? I've started up the front.................What would you do?
Do I cut through the middle of the roof?
It all needs to be "inside a Transit" size

Cut the a b and c posts,lift the roof off and halve it.Remove tail panel and rear deck then rear quarters.Firewall/ bulkhead/a post area is the hardest to cut off.Then cut the floorpan into manageable pieces.

I think you should do the "Kev's fridge" job and blow it up!

What do you want advice for, just get a Stihl Petrol disc cutter, scream loudly and attack anything at arms length.

Why not just remove the goodies then call a scrap merchant up to collect the shell? You'll not as good a value for the scrap but the hours spent cutting up the shell would in my opinion make it worth it. Thats what I did with my Barracuda anyway, still got £150 from the Tinkers

Where's the fun though

Also might find a build sheet halfway through and find out it's ex Stirling Moss

Did he used to race valiant's at one point?

Here you go, Kev. One of our boy's doing what he does best.

I have plenty of spare blades if you fancy a go. The record for a car is 37 seconds to cut it completely in half with a recip saw...

He started out doing this with a HACKSAW!!!

I had to cut a car on the second day of my job with the company. It was a cool way to start.

He was the suave and sophisticated Gent in a roll neck and sports ja-cket they used in the adverts for the VG valiant.

so his buttocks will have passed across the seat of a Val or two

the ad. agency chrysler Oz employed did the deal with Moss

hid him about the building somewhere (maybe in a broom cupboard or indeed the gents....i'm not sure)

started the meeting with the chrysler exec

said something like ah yes and we'll magic sterling out of no where then will we..... Pah what do you think we are magicians

and he bowled in through the door

crazy crazy crazy guys.

they probably had Farareo Rocher and proper coffee and everything to make sure they got that gig

I'd skip the hacksaw phase, though. Unless you have arms like Popeye!

I'll dig out some of our UK vids when I'm next in the offices.
