Quote: ... I've explained to non-gearheads that when I'm replacing a major body panel, I think of each spot weld as basically being a bolt holding things together and that it just takes more labor to undo it. It's not rocket science to reconstruct something on down the line if the wheel house or similar part has been hacked on.
With regard to this car, it's more a question of whether the "bolts" should have been undone in the first place. If this were 1973, nobody would think twice about cutting on a race car like this, or the viability of future restoration. But it's not 1973 anymore.
