I don't have one, but I've borrowed them at various times. We had to dremel a big piece of metal away from part of where the back seat bolted to to install my harness. Sparks were flying all over the car, it was coool.

I need me a Dremel......need to update the Christmas list.
Yeah, I finally got one. After cutting through those bolts, I am now using it to clean up the skid plates and the many sheilds under there. We are going to strip them all down to the steel and paint them with Metalcast Green. I had already painted two of the skid plates with Grabber Green, but after I got a can of the Metalcast and painted on of the little peices under there, Kim was hooked.
As for the sparks! Yeah it was. My oldest daughter was all under there with me, freaking out over all the sparks. Kim was gonna cut one of the bolts, but then I told her to be careful because there was a gas line right next to were she was cutting. I figured that with all the sparks and what not, that might be a little dangerous if she hit it.
Soon as we get her truck up and running again... My headlights are next!! OOOWWW!! I can't wait!!

Hey! We got Kims tranny out yesterday!! I don't know what you yankee's feed yawls rust with, but you need to stop!! Her pressure plate was completely covered in the crap. Actually, what we found out was that the throw-out bearing had went out. Actually it busted wide open. The only thing I could find that might have caused it to happen was... yep, you guessed it.... Yankee Breed Rust!!! God I wish I had a digicam so I could show you guys this stuff.

Mechanics gloves are one of the greatest things to have, they save on blood loss.
