Hi how did you remove the old rail, just drill out the spot welds?

@bensclassicbodywork 2 ай бұрын

Yes, it was mainly spot welds but there were two small beads of weld on the top at either end of the rail. I had to use a 9" disc cutter to reach the small beads of weld. They are only about 1/2" long but looked factory to me.
