Unlimited tacos and coffee, eh? I hope there's a bathroom.
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!

does not work as advertised; Volvos were engineered to operate in dry ice level cold environments...
Thoughts on the oscillating saw? I love them. You can even groove rally tires with them!
Thats exactly what I used one of those for on my stock car since we were extremely limited on our tire selection! Were you talking about removing the tar paper with one?
Heck yeah. They make a chisel blade, or you can make your own out of a really dull saw blade (and they come in different widths too!). It just scrapes right on through the tar paper. It only works well on flat or mostly flat surfaces.
For weld prep in tight areas, I've found that a flat wire wheel in the drill is about the greatest thing since sliced break. The lower speeds of the drill keep it from melting the undercoating and it will actually rip it off the metal.

At $550, I'm never going to buy one. They do amazing shell prep on all of their rally cars, and they don't use dry ice or liquid nitrogen.
Being a cage noob....
Is it common to open up the roof like that and then weld it back up?
I don't have one either, but I have used one and they do work awesome. If you do a lot of bare shell builds, easily worth the investment.Garth and Kyle at Trackside swear by this: https://store.snapon.com/Remove-All-Tool-Tool-Air-Crud-Removal-P644425.aspx

Why do people always put the rear down bars to the fender wells and not the area right above the shock?!? Drives me nuts.

If you're running stock rear suspension links, reinforce the weld nuts for the upper links (but you probably already know this). I made a sweet little drill guide to hole saw out the stock weld-nut, and some fancy double shear brackets. 2hrs of work and infinite peace... oooohhhhhmmmmmm.
Will post back with some photogs.
