What's the best way to remove a rear quarter panel of a Mav or Comet when the junk yard does not allow cutting torches. Do you just break out the battery operated reciprocating saw?
I use battery operated YeLlow 4-1/2" angle grinder with cutting discs for 'field' work, - Zzip and clean cut panels , 18V Sawzall for thicker stuff if needed ... have fun
You would be surprised how much you can do with a saws all. This was a nice car but it went to Pick & Pull. A lot of it lives on in my car. I took both aprons too. By the time I was done, there was just a bumper and the engine laying on the ground with what was left of the body. http://mmb.maverick.to/media/albums/71mavrk.165/ Micah
wow that car was NICE I still see nice door panels and what looks like a possibly crack free dash pad and dont forget the wood trim on the dash v8 frame mounts belly bar
It was a really nice rust free car. The interior was almost perfect and the body was completely straight until Pick & Pull bashed it around. I think it was a one owner car that got junked because it failed smog. It had a new carb on it. When I got to it, no one had touched it. It looked like you could have jumped in and drove away. When I cut the roof off and the seat belt assembly from the sill, it folded in half. I took the rear end, floor shifter, seat belts, entire power steering, bucket seat floor reinforcements, rear windshield and trim, the inner/outer shock tower supports. Plus, all the extra nuts, bolts and clips that I could grab. I took the roof off it to get rid of my leaky sun roof. The shop screwed that up and another Maverick donated the entire roof. It was a 6 banger, otherwise, I would have grabbed that stuff too. It was such a nice car that I actually felt guilty when I was done. Bring a hammer, chisel, hacksaw, gloves, tin snips, wire cutters, ear plugs and extra batteries is my advice to anyone who wants to chop one up. Micah
