I get to destroy a Mustang! (tech q's inside)
My friend just bought a wrecked 65 mustang for parts, and its now at a warehouse in downtown (the same one as the porsche I wanna buy). Anyways, the mustang was crunched from both sides and the doors were pushed into the seats. We had hellla fun yesterday beating the living sh*t outta the doors and fenders to remove the doors! lol he was prying from outside, I was kickin the door from inside... :P. My tech question is pretty simple, but I've never done this before. What should we use to cut out the dash? Its made of sheetmetal, but its literally crunched because both A-pillars were hit. A hacksaw will take too long I would think, and a torch would ruin the wiring harness, which is what we want from under the dash. Any tips appreciated, we've never parted a car out before. But we sure are having fun ripping off all the parts :P
