Separating spot-welded body and frame parts

Hi Rory,

Yes, i have spotweld cutters. The ones i have are called rotabroach, made by Blair manufacturing. They range from 1/4" up to 3/4" in my kit. They work pretty well. My kit of cutters cost me about $65 a number of years ago. However i have found that drilling eliminates the nub in the middle that you have to grind down after using the cutters. With the drill bit method, my chisels cut cleanly thru the centers with the drill holes and dont get hung up on a nub left from a spotweld cutter, plus the drill bit method is a cheap way to do this for people who dont want to spend the money for dedicated spotweld cutters. I cut the first half of this car apart with my spotweld cutters and my chisels. The latter half with my chisels and the drill bit method. I think the drill bit method is actually better, faster, and cheaper.
