Lots of cutting oil, and lots of patiences and take out every spot weld you see. Really simple and annoying.

Have at it but if your not going to use cutting oil you better have alot of bits to the side ready to go.

Pretty much what luserkid said, find all the spot welds and drill them out. The radiator support i took off I was even able to use a makita on some parts of it.

wd40 makes a decent drill bit lube if you don't have anything else.

Take your time. You are going to want some C-clamps to help secure the body pieces when you go to line it up

I wouldnt do this project during the week unless you got alot of free time. I would do it on a weekend because your going to want alot of "im going to mother f**King kill you" breaks. At least i know i did
