Disconnect the battery negative cable from servicing electrical components that are live when the ignition is OFF.
When holes must be drilled or punched in an inner body panel, verify depth of space to the outer body panel, electrical wiring, or other components.

Always have a fire extinguisher ready for use when welding.
