Like Father, Like Son: The Story of my 1970 Dodge Dart
If you can find some steel tube that's the diameter of the holes. Cut it into pieces, Weld a shoulder onto them and make pins out of them. I also have a pair of these vise grip pinchers and a bunch of smaller vise grip clamps similar to this.
I also made metal splitters with sharpened stainless steel blades. And use ball rotary files on an inline air grinder. You grind the spotweld around the perimeter of the weld to weaken it, then drive the splitter between the 2 pieces of sheetmetal to cut thru. You grind on the spotwelds on the side your discarding most times. Sometimes you have to grind em on the side your going to keep.
Use good eye protection, and wear latex gloves to keep the metal splinters out of your hands. These ball files are about $12 each I have only went thru 2 of them even with all the dissassembly on my kids car.
