Who knows their way around metal?

I will shortly become the new owner of a bus shell...

As sad as it is, the chances of it ever finding it's way onto the road are slim-to-none, hence my decision to cut it...albeit with a plan...

I need someone to help me cut it, professionally, and then make a few mods to it...to fit my plans...

Any suggestions as to who could help me out in this regard?

Thanks, N.

If I were you, I would have a look at the shapes and sizes of replacement body parts available for a Bus, then cut the salvagable pieces out of the shell slightly larger, so that it could be trimmed and MIG-welded into place (on a restoration project) when needed. Rather too big than too small..

But cannibalising a Bus is sad, indeed :cry:

I've thought of it as a parts shell, but I have no storage, and have had a wicked idea in my head for some time now which I'd like to follow through with...

Sad, but true.

Cut it in small pieces, and send it to the Brits as a DIY Meccano set! :lol:
