I used a jigsaw with a fine tooth metal blade to cut out some metal on an 86 5th avenue's rear deck last week...had to cut the stock holes bigger to fit 6X9s back there...I went through 3 cheap blades (walmart crap) trying to get it done, then i bought a real blade from a hardware store and it cut fine with no wear....
If ur cutting new holes, just drill a hole first in the middle of ur pattern/template (i used a scribe to outline my hole), then stick ur jigsaw blade in there and cut from the drill hole out to ur template, just like cutting a subwoofer mounting hole.

I just use tin snips and a careful hand.

A really pissed off Pit Bull would do the trick. Maybe a big nasty alligator with a tude. Airsaw works best, make sure you wear goggles metal shards in the eye = very quick trip to the hospital.

What about the fabric? Do you cut trough that with the same blade or with some pit-bulls?
