How do you all find spot welds to drill out? Is there any easy way to find them? It will make my life a lot easier if I can find them instead of just cutting everything and hoping for the best. Forgive my ignorance, but I'm learning as I go (I did search extensively).

Look for the indentation, usually on the back side, you can find a few usually and measure for the rest, if it's been covered with bondo, good luck finding them. Put the tip of your cutting bit in the center and drill away.
faded
I had some trouble finding a few in faded, or rusty paint. Hit it with a wire wheel or 3M strip disk, just real light kind of like sanding a guide coat. It makes finding the dimpled spot weld much easier.
