The Milwaukee Sawzall

It aptly named. Turns out, it really does saw all:

This was a 1994 RS America. Sad end to such a nice car, but this one was DUN done. Impact with the wall at the Glen bent the whole car like a banana. The only panel not messed up is the non-sunroof roof (which I cut off to save).

Some interesting shots of the fab work inside the rocker panels of the 964. These rockers seem significantly bigger than on older 911s. I have to believe that head to head, the 964 is a significantly stiffer car than an old 911.

This is a cross-section of the A pillar.

Cross section pics are cool - That's a view you don't often see. ;) Thanks for sharing!

Nice pics, thanks!

The Sawzall was our best wedding present ever.

Cool Pics Jazz.

Perhaps some ideas for stiffening / reinforcing your current whip? :lol:

Man that looked like fun! What's the going rate for 1/4 of an RSA?

Looks like that beastie is about ready to join all the '44s I've crushed. Did you see my PM about the cooler mount?

That's what I was thinking.

Is it true that the RSA had more welding done to stiffen the chassis? Maybe seam welds instead of tack welds. I guy I know who is not technical at all, but owns an RSA told me that. I thought it is was just a stripped version of the 964 with possibly this extra reinforcement.
