Anyone know where to buy new spot welds?
Just venting, its a pain but the end result is well worth the effort.

RE: Spot welds :(
yeah i hear ya on that one, took me the better part of the day to cut all mine out (all 4 aprons, pass side frame rail, and floor pan, frame that runs under pass floor pan, and pass side 1/4 panel) but now its all new and was worth it. i drill a 1/8 hole first then take a step drill and open em up right past the spot weld area, once all are open it pops right off. also there are spot weld cutting bits you can use. depends on what ya like and what works for you i guess.

You can get a bag of 200 spot weldsfrom crapwewillselltoyou.com for like $14. That's for the repros. Original Ford tooling is $28.
