Export Brace

Does anyone have any tips on removing the old shock tower braces? I was planning to cover the engine with blankets and taking a saws-all to it. How easy is it to drill out the spot welds at the cowl?

Patrick, who's brace are you going to use? mine is a tcp . I added 1/2'" to the lip on the firewall so the bolts would have more meat around them.some bondo and it's good to go, need to repaint though...jh
