Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are Cut Sheets?
Cut sheets are essentially templates or guides that indicate precisely where a part of a vehicle needs to be cut. These cuts are made on the body panels of one vehicle so that those panels can be welded into another vehicle.
Imagine you have a damaged car (let’s call it Car A) that needs replacement body panels. You find a similar make and model (Car B) at My Auto Store. Car B might have some parts that are still usable, but they need to be carefully cut out. That’s where cut sheets come in. They mark the exact cutting lines on the donor vehicle’s body panels. Once cut, these salvaged panels can then be welded onto the recipient vehicle.
Q: Where are Cut Sheets used?
- Repair Precision: When you’re dealing with salvaged parts, precision matters. Cut sheets ensure that the cuts are made exactly where needed, minimizing any adjustments during installation.
- Welding and Fitment: By following cut sheets, mechanics can ensure that the salvaged panels fit perfectly onto the damaged vehicle. Proper fitment is essential for safety and aesthetics.
- Efficiency: Having clear instructions saves time and reduces guesswork. Mechanics can focus on executing the cuts accurately.
Q: What are the different types of Cut Sheets?
- 2-Door Unibody: For two-door cars with a unibody construction (where the body and frame are integrated)
- 4-Door Unibody: Similar to the above but for four-door cars
- Extended Cab: Used for pickup trucks with extended cabs
- Quad Cab: For larger pickup trucks with four doors
- Full-Size Van: Cut sheets specific to full-size vans
- Mini Van: For minivans
- SUV: Covers SUVs
- 4-Door Full Frame: Used for cars with a separate frame and body
- 4-Door Unibody: Again, for four-door cars with unibody construction
