LOL!
I just did something like that with my donor Toyota pickup for the
driveline in the Frankenwillys. I cut damn near the whole truck up in
pieces small enough that the whole body including the cab and bed went
out in the trash. I also bought a couple pair of heavy leather work
gloves for the garbagemen and put them on the pile of metal with a note
that the gloves were for their protection and they should keep them.
They took every piece.
It was a lot of fun going at a rustbucket using a grinder, Sawzall and
an air hammer with a cutting bit. It was LOTS of fun!
=8D
Woo-Hoo!!!

If the wholesale slaughter of sheetmetal is desired, the tool for the
job is a 4.5" electric angle grinder fitted with a fiberglass reinforced
cutoff wheel. It will slice through sheetmetal like butter, and is also
good for cutting through bolts.
