Get your self a good spot weld cutter and some spare cutter's and have at it, I took the inner panels out of my Dart and it made it a lot easier to work on and lost some weight on the front too, well worth the time and effort in my opinion, just make sure you tie the upper shock mounts to the down bar's if you haven't already.
That's great to hear, It's tied to the front bars but will support it better being I ran the front bars inside the wheel wells
Ant pic's of this I'm in the process of doing this to my e-body, how's it tied to the upper shock mount?
They are called Blair Spot Weld Cutters.. you can buy all the parts needed to do it.. the mandrel with spring loaded tip, the cutters.. which come in different diameters... and you can buy the cutters single sided or double sided.. I always use the double sided... mainly a 5/16" diameter will work for most spot welds.. but you might pick up a few 3/8" cutters... all you do is center punch each spot weld then put the spring loaded tip in the center punch divot and slowly spin the cutter while loading up the tip.. you will get the feel for it.. you can get the whole thing in tool supply places, maybe Fastenal has them.. I get them from a place local to me http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&key...sl_7g20do305z_e
