Specifically, the core support. This Saturday morning I am headed about 100 miles north of Phoenix to a salvage yard that has an 89 Galant with zero front end damage about to go to the crusher. I'm snagging the hood, fenders, and core support off it. $250, maybe less if they like the set of Talon TSi wheels I'm bringing with me.
My concern is that I've never done this before. From the looks of my own car, I suspect I can drill out some spot welds where the nose/core meets the fender wells, but I'm worried about a dead drill battery. Should I see about borrowing a spare drill and maybe a cordless sazwall before I head up there? 100 miles from home with a dead drill is no place to be.
Has anyone done this before? I will see what it takes to get the mangled one off 195 before I go, but if anyone has any tips or suggestions, I would appreciate it.
Looking forward to having 195 back on the road before the Shootout (and painting up a mock WRC Galant hood to hang on the garage wall). Thanks as always!
