I’m impressed by the progress you’ve made. My first impression of the car was WTF! Where do you even start? You’ve made a believer out of me. What a great project.
Had to stop by and let you know what a cool channel this is. I stumbled across you while looking for plans to build a wooden bench press. I am 16 and just getting into fabrication in order to build out a drift car, and this channel has the perfect content.
Good Stuff! Concerning cut-off wheels, buy industrial ones from like Granger etc. NO Harbor Freight Chyna crap. I had one grenade on me and blew up. So glad you are wearing a shield, smart man!!!!!! Thanks for sharing and cheers and blessings from Motown/Dearborn.
But I would say best brand for angle grinder consumables is hands down best bang for buck is benchmark abrasives the ceramic flap wheels are worth thrn cost also
When ya use a cut-off wheel to ummm, cut-off stuff, it will generally do a half-decent job... But when you use a cut-off wheel to umm, grind out spot welds??? Let's just say YMMV! (I'd suggest using a proper grinding disc to gouge out the spot welds, and keep your cut off wheel(s) for cutting stuff off) The fact that somehow, you've been able to be "LUCKY" with De-Walt cut off wheels doesn't make it right... Other than a hammer (we all know that EVERY tool has a 'hammer-end' on it), I'd recommend using each tool for its intended purpose and in the way it was intended to be used.

Yeah I felt the same way. Definitely in over my head at first, but it’s coming together.
You have condemned a grinding rock disk. This is not a cutoff disk!! This disk is designed for grinding only.

Like Gary said ,that is not a cut off wheel, used for grinding or smoothing. Look at warnings on wheel sticker.
Bro Meet Kevin!!!!! I’m convinced it’s you in a disguise 🥸!!!!! 😂
Man, that was solid metal you took off. What a waste of time and good car!!

Did you x out the holes on the bottom of frame rails check for square
Great job ! Where did you get that patch panel that floor pan rails attach to?
what's your source for measurements? do you have some original specs, or are the measurements taken before you start cutting original metal.
It’s not the cut off wheel it’s you angling or putting pressure on the wheels . I’ve used all kinds and none stand up to lateral force while cutting

Why bother taking the floor support off like that? Why not just cut the floor support and the frame at the same time?
Get some music.
