About 1000 spot welds. I found the easiest way to remove it was to grind through the spot welds with a cutting disc.

Yep, this is one spot where more rust helps out. My drip rails were shot so off they went too. It's easier to cut the roof off an inch or so back, then you can find and dispense with the spot welds. Good luck!
