Body question

[HGM]

Does anyone have pictures or diagrams of how the cowl and rear quarters are held together? I'm trying to keep the pannels in tact, the best I can. I have a donor to supply those pannels and would like to disassemble at the spotwelds. But, with all the paint and seam sealer, its a bit exploratory in some areas. Might not be a preactical plan for some areas, but the diagrams I've seen just dont show the detail I'm looking for. Thanks for the help guys..

You won't find a diagram of the welds, it is more of an exploratory adventure. I have been successful at finding welds by using a flap sanding wheel on my grinder and running it along the weld line. Then pilot drilling the weld before using a weld cutting bit. Another method for finding a not so visible weld is to separate the metal as you go using a Seam Buster http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/steck-seam-buster-20015-p-11711.aspx . Just tap it along the line until it won't go any further and "wallah" you found it .

Good luck,
