Hi,

As part of our ongoing father-son Volvo rebuilding adventure, we're planning on salvaging some good rear floor sheet metal from our donor car. Son suggested using a torch (yikes!) based on a friend's experience; based on that same friend's experience, I am leaning towards something like a "sawsall" with a metal-cutting blade.

Problem: I don't own said "sawsall"
Problem: Father's Day is too far away
Possible solution: Craftsman hand-held scroll saw with metal-cutting blade?

As near as I can tell, I'll only be cutting single-layer sheet steel. Do you think the possible solution (scroll saw) will work?

Any BTDT on other approaches--or things to avoid?

FWIW, the father-son part has gone real well, and I would recommend it. We had a really good spring-break together. We both learned a lot--and not just the more colorful aspects of the English language . . . .

Best Regards,

Steve A-
