Translation:

Hello, I am working on a few mustangs. I got mine for $275 total because the car was damaged and was at a government lein sale, which was a good thing becase I'm learning to work on cars. I have one problem though, I am in Sacramento, but the shop that I am working on them in is in Vellijo, and I don't have all the proper tools to get them fixed.

Here's what my car is (and what the shape it's in):

1965 straight 6
3sp mt
Pony Interior and deluxe model to add, plus a/c

The car was wrecked around 1977 (last register date) and I'm having to take the front clip off and replace it with another from a donor car which is also a wrecked car, but only to the driver side. I was wondering because I do not have a rotisory(?) to cut the sub-frame off and no money to buy one, does anyone have an ideas as to what I could do? Please let me know... thanks!

dont need rotisserie to cut off subframe... actually couldnt use it since it would become unstable once you start to remove subframe...what you'll need is many jackstands.. at least 2 sets for the subframe and then 2 sets for the rest of car.... for the subframe a set in the front then one at the subframe/body joint then for the rest of the body a set at the rear subframe and a set at the front subframe/body joint... this way as long as your jackstands dont move you have both of the pieces you are working with supported at all four corners.... then the next step is just drill out all the spot welds (subframe spot welds are VERY large as far as spot welds go so will take a fairly large spotweld cutter) and there are quite a few of them that will need to be drilled
