BTW dustin(batman) i'm goin to need a piece from your parts car if you can... on the firewall (passenger side) the A/C lines bolt onto a circular aluminum piece coming from the interior...whatever that is i'm goin to need it.

the spare tire well was removed to create a flat surface interior wise and more room under the car..the engine was ditched cause it sucks...the engine bay parts were removed to paint...the rest of the stuff i removed...well cause i didn't like them

Same here lol, but it will be a hard work to get it back in one piece after llets say a year? Bolts will be missing for sure, or once you assemble it - you will have a bucket of "spare" bolts

an angle grinder with a cut off wheel should do it, only problem is that you will have to use a few wheels to get the thing out, i guess you could do it also with a jig saw

dremel and an air hammer.....
no van-sliders or anything....so far reassemble i'm not missing any bolts but you can't stop the inevitable
