I happen to know how much work you have into dissecting that shell. That is a bunch of work!

Oh yeah. I have seen that you dig in deep on these. It's a lot of work to get it them apart and still have something usable. It would be a lot easier if I had two to cut up. It's dificult to preserve both the fender and the cowl. It would be much quicker/easier to distroy the fender to get to the cowl and vice versa. I was able to get my plasma cutter in up under the fender near the cowl and knock the welds loose to get the fender off and didn't distroy the cowl and that's only after scraping out gobbs of seam sealer.
Whew!

As expected, the car is bent but no worries there will be no signs of an accident when completed. It's interesting how you can see exactly how off it is once on the fixture. The front is twisted and sitting high on the drivers side and the entire front of the car is still pushed over to the right and shoved back. The car was "repaired" after the accident but not properly. this pic shows the damage to the rear suspension console.
