I decided to cut the shell in areas that I won't be needing to make it a) lighter to move b) for blaster to be able to clear rust/goo as much as possible. I build a cage around it so moving and blasting on a fork lift forks wouldn't damage shell any further. 

It was time consuming to try figure out what I needed from 02 chassis and what would be left from E85 chassis to be able to mate them as seamlessly as possible. Jigpuzzle with optimally just two parts. 
 

With jig table levelled I made two, hmm, towers from old rotesserie and some scrap metal to each end of the table so I could winch chassis up & down as needed. Two manual chain winches volunteered for the job.

Time to get a plasma cutter
