You might want to consider the Nibbler - made for cutting metal - fits in a
drill - electric or air powered - and "nibbles" little chunks of metal -
like chewing. Eastwood carries them along with some others. The air
powered tool is called a die grinder IIRC and you;re right, they cut really
well - make sure the air compressor has enough capacity to power the grinder
(which actually has a thin cutting wheel - don't know why it's called a
grinder) else the tool will keep slowing down.
I have the die grinder with 3" wheels that are about 1/16" thick - they
really cut thru auto sheetmetal quickly. I also have an air powered chisel
set - which I was never impressed with.
Good luck - you;re entering territory that I have vowed to never enter
again - the dreaded "Valley of Rust".

Subject: Re: [MBZ] 220D Trunk floor project
Going to Sears today to buy an air compressor so that
I can use air powered cutoff tool. Dremel cut off
wheels work fine but they wear out after 3-4" of
cutting. At $1.20 per wheel thats getting expensive,
also really slow, and there's a lot of rusty trunk to
cut out.

Microwave oven sheet metal is free, just ask the
Frankenheap.
But don't look too closely!
