Interior panel removal

[John.Smith]

I just wanted to share something I learned while removing the interior panels on my international 3800.

I started using tin snips to remove the metal panels because they are all pressed under the windows. Then I used a grinding wheel to cut all the way through the panel, and I was destroying my wheels.


It saved me a few grinding wheels and lots of time!

I am sure most of you already did this or plan on doing it, but here it is. https://youtu.be/9FtMUAXHNoA

I started using the angle grinder but later went to an electric tin snips. Here is a video on how we did it.

I don't see any need to remove the 1/4" strip that remains after I cut the panels. It's not in the way of anything and will be covered.

Cutting disk worked well, and fast.
