Do you have a spot weld cutter? There are some real crappy versions out there -- and some good ones. Trust me -- the good ones are worth their weight in gold. Drilling out spot welds sucks. I use the Hougens roto broaches - they make a killer spot weld cutter. I center punch each weld real well - and then use my cutter... a good center punch keeps it from crawling offcenter.

Your description was amazing. I don't know about everyone else, but it reads like a instruction book.

I appreciate the insight.
