There are spot weld cutters
But they are expensive and dull quickly. On my 72 stang I ended up just used a regular drill bit and then an air chisel to separate the panels.

to save drill bit, first, drill a pilot hole using a smaller drill bit, then go up the a bigger size. might take awhile, but you wont be spending 6-8 buck per drill bit.

or use wat my buddy does for restorations and he uses dewalt pilot point bits, they maybe $4 each and have basically a 1/8 inch long pilot tip on them and they stay sharp very long. i drilled out an entire roof on a 63.5 galaxie and it was still sharp as new.
