<VV> Torch suggestions

[Harry Yarnell]

Back in the '70s, I'd been known to cut up parted Corvairs and haul them to 
the scrap yard, instead of having a rollback pick it up. Dirty work!
In hindsite; it was a dumb idea. There's alot of metal to cut, and alot of 
filler that catchs fire that you cut into. The fumes will do you in, not to 
mention the possibility of slashing your leg as you sling pieces into the 
pickup truck.
I remember clearly one time when I was cutting the floor pans from 
underneath, forgetting about the cardboard boxes of parts INSIDE the car, 
and the ensuing inferno that had to be put out with a garden hose...but I 
digress...
PAY someone to haul it away.
