<<From my experience McCullugh chain saws are the best for this type of
cutting operation, however the dash is steel so you'll need an acetylene
torch (flames begin...) for this job (Putting all aesthetics out of
mind>>

OK, here's some flame bait for y'all. Sympton: Fried front blower motor
and other ducting problems in 83.5 van. Problem: Have neither the time
nor patience to remove all the dash & stuff to replace it properly.
Radical idea: Cut an "access panel" right in the top of the aluminum
surface of the dash board, basically right where the ash tray and
factory speaker live. Con-fab a way to open and close this panel, thus
giving me easy access to ALL the stuff that is hiding below the dash. I
guess the first question is: With such an opening, would it even be
possible to get to the blower motor from above? Putting all aesthetics
out of mind (I can hide the panel with a creative dash covering), what
do you guys think about this hare-brained scheme? Let the flames
begin...
