Big back window conversion tips

[sigshooter]

I started my big window conversion today and I came ascross a few short cuts. I drilled out the spot weld below the window/behind the tank, but instead of trying to drill out all of the welds around the lip of the window/underneath the seal. I used a grinder and cut off wheel and cut the outer metal of the donor cab. I cut it in a way that it was easy to fold it down at the window lip, opening up a "v" around these welds. I lightly hit them with the cut off wheel and just by working the two pieces open and closed/back and forth it popped the welds apart without drilling all of the welds. I continued to cut the outer part of the cab one section at a time and exposed the rest of the welds such as ascross the top headliner portion and continued the same process. It worked great and saved a lot of time drilling those hundreds of welds.

It ruined the rest of the outer metal, but all I wanted was the inner panel
