diy is more for "how to" type posts, not questions so i moved the post to general tech.


the only good way to get the welds off is to grind them off, very simple to do with a handheld grinder and a cutting/grinding wheel. once you get through those welds it'll come right off. butane torch won't do crap to an actual weld other than make it too hot to touch, it won't even begin to melt the metal. the only torch you could use would be oxy/acetylene but that would burn a bigass hole right through, so i don't recommend it. just go with the grinder, cheap and easy to do.

or you can go to a body supply store and get a spot weld cutter(remover). just drill out every spot weld you see that holding the core onto the frame.and then grind it out. this way when you get another core support you wont have to worry about the frame being all messed up when you go to spot weld it back
