[FC] Custom engine removal

[Gary Swiatowy]

Couple years ago, I stripped an early convertible and there was just 
basically the body left. Scrap prices were down so I couldn't even give it 
away. Decided to cut it into pieces so I could haul it in myself in the back 
of the pickup.

Went through a LOT of blades, these things are put together well.
My suggestion is to have some torches as a backup as you may run into some 
areas which are just too thick to use a sawzall...........
