Technically, you could also say “RIP to another one” to these as well because they’re both going to end up at the same place. (the crusher) Kit

That rear decklid is looking rather grim. Looks like whomever butchered the decklid while prying it open also damaged the left taillight. Idiots abound.

That pic is at least 3+ years old. 😊 The tail lights look ok in the pic but they were pretty much toast.

I get the heat issue and its effect on the steel, but I think putting an Upper/Lower A arm into a furnace to remove the rust/oil/paint is a lot different then the very thin sheet metal that makes up the frame. I just cut the top off a T-Top car in my local Pick n Pull and I can tell you the frame is made up of very thin sheet metal that is boxed for strength. The sawzall cut right threw it like it was paper. I don't think I could cut threw an Upper/Lower A arm as easy. I would think that the heat would really mess up the thin metal of the frame. In this pic you can see that the strength comes from the boxing and over lapping of the sheet metal. Its thin but when all welded together its strong.
