Default C3 + Sawzall = Fun (slightly OT)

Had to drop my gas tank to fix a fuel leak - tried for a long while to sneak it out without removing the previous owner's fully welded exhaust/mufflers. I finally bowed to the inevitable, borrowed my neighbor's sawzall, and sliced off the mufflers. Somehow I got a perverse pleasure from it, sorta like, leak all over me will ya - take THAT ! I had to fight to keep from hacking on all the other rusty cancer bits :eek:
(I gotta get me one of those sawzalls) :D

And to think, I've been using a chain cutter to cut exhaust all these years... Could have saved myself a ton of time, but I like the nice neat cuts you get from the chain cutter... They're easier to weld back together, or at least that's what I keep telling myself while I'm taking 30 minutes to cut two pieces of pipe :crazy:

If you think a sawzall is fun you shuld try a cutting torch!

Cuts through 1/4 inch plate steel like butter, sparks and flames everywhere! :smash: :smash: :smash:

Lopped my #2 & #3 body mount cage nuts off with a sawzall. Excellent tool for most ANY project! :thumbs:

I love the side grinder with the 4 inch hummer wheel, but if you were leaking gas, this probably would not have been the best choice. :eek: :D
