Well, Jim, the owner of Tampa Spring in Tampa Florida (they specialize in frames and suspensions on everything from cars to big rigs) gave a good luck at the undercarriage on my 123 and pointed out to me that MBZs are built like tanks/trucks in that the older ones have the frames of trucks. So . . . I would have told you that cutting one would be as difficult as cutting up a catepillar or army truck!!!! Although, if you want to do that, find out how the junkyards do it with cutting torches for quick division!!!
