I have to agree with you two to a certain extent. The welds were well spaced out and not very large in diameter. They were in good shape though as there is almost no rust on this cab. This might not work in most situations, but it did work in this case. I looked at the fusion point of the weld and it varys from about 1/16th to a little larger in diameter. I was not very agressive, just a couple of light smacks. I looked through my body shop catalog this morning and found a "panel seperating knife". I also did a little research on the internet this morning and see that most modern cars appear to have larger spotwelds that are much closer together then my 38. Sheet metal on newer vehicles may be a little thinner too?

Good luck with your project!
