Enoch emailed me this in reference to the cutting device he used for the above repair: "I use a mini saw to cut the butt weld seam. It gives you much greater control."

More info on the saw: he indicated that it has a flat blade and operates like an air-powered mini jig/scroll saw.

The roof. It seems that whoever repainted the car many years ago thought that taking the old decal stripe off the roof was a bit too labor intensive, so they just bondoed it over, repainted it, and then applied a new decal on top. It took a bit of extra work to get the roof flat again.
