How to cut up a car?
My son has been really interested in learning how to build cars. We recently came into the possession of an old car we’re anxious to cut apart and mess around with, but what’s the best way to cut up a car?

That’s such a fun hobby for you both to enjoy! The steel used in car manufacturing is incredibly tough, providing drivers and passengers with adequate protection. However, it’s pretty light as far as metals go, making it fairly easy to cut if you have the right tools. Here are some of the most popular tools to use when cutting up a car:
- Plasma torch
- Angle grinder
- Circular saw
- Miter Saw
- Sawzall blade
These saws will require specific blades for cutting metal, so be sure to look into which blades you’ll need for the type of metal you’ll be working with. Using these tools can be extremely dangerous, so it’s also important to take every safety precaution and go slowly!
The best method of attack is to quarter the car unless you’re looking to preserve specific parts. In that case, remove any parts you want before cutting, or you can carve around the spots with your chosen tool.
Whether or not you take your newly-built car out on the road, you’re going to need reliable
car insurance
