Removing Hardware from a Car Body

When stripping the hardware from a car, it is important that you take the necessary precautions to carefully remove each component. Craig Hopkins teaches you how to use a torch and a few hand tools to find and remove screws and other materials that are holding the hardware onto the body of the car. The process may be slow-going, but in the end you’ll be glad you took your time.

   Would be great on this video specifically to show the places where he uses the flat head on the back side to remove the piece – after it was heated up. Could save or ruin the piece if not done correctly – a better camera angle would be extremely helpful.

   Good tips. Sometimes those screws just submerge and you can’t see them.

   I love how he used oxy/ acetylene to warm up a screw to remove but used map gas to heat up adhesive. Keep it simple, map gas can be used for screws also.
