Well, if you want to try it out. Wear a long sleeve shirt or old coat (I like an old jean jacket) unless you like little hot sparks bouncing of your arms. A hat is good too. Morris has eye and hearing protection.

this is where a plasma cutter would come in real handy, or even just a torch gouging tip, save on zip discs, they are a limited resource don't chya know

The plasma cutter works great for cutting sheet metal but really sucks at cutting off bolts bigger than 5/16, the zip cut or a grinder is the best if there is room.

you would put a gouging tip on the plasma, it will still get hot if you move real slow, but to take a bolt head off, its easy as pie, just dont slip

I`ve never heard of a gouging tip for the plasma, how does it work and is it expensive?

ive got no idea on the cost, on the machine i was using you just push the selector to gouge, the tip just screws on and away you go, you work at about a 45 degree angle, we were gouging backing strips off of test plate, it didnt dig into the base material unless you really got in an aggressive angle on it. it just removed that backing strip real easy. i think it would work okay for working around sheetmetal, just dont slip, whatever you do, dont slip

edit: ill try and find you a picture later, but im going to bed for now

It has a block heater? I`ll try to remember to do that.
I`m sure I seen Ford Flatties with block heaters that screwed in place of a head bolts.
I think my 57 F350/272 has it screwed into the water pump, I would have to double check that to be sure.

I thought it had the head bolt block heater. If not we can always push it in with the bobcat.
