Why is nobody listening to Mike H?
using a hole-type drill bit will remove the roofing and leave the spot weld to be ground off easily with the roofing out of the way.

It's a good idea....used in auto bodywork, etc.

These aren't garden variety spot welds though....they're puddle welds.
And they aren't normal puddle welds.
They used cut washers for more purchase and they puddled the ID.

Sounds like a pretty good wart.

It's coarse work...I think that the easiest way to get the roofing off is to cut the roofing around the washers.
Peanut grinder and cut-off disk would be my weapon of choice as I understand the site conditions.

Same concept as a spot weld cutter but rougher.

On the re-roof you would try to lay out the panels so the "high flutes" land on the old puddle welds taking them out of play.
From below the old puddle welds would not show.
Gotta cheat every chance you get.

Some of it I've seen done from the safety of sidewalk.

1/2 block, on the one-way from Hoquiam to Aberdeen. Great commercial property, but no, I'm not in the market to hold something that long. If I could get a bunch of Johnny Crosslin moels to "man" the car wash, I might reconsider.

I don't know what the upkeep is on those car washes, but I do know that it must be real tough for da man to know how many quarters are really run through it.....kinda like a laundromat wink

You can bet that discharge standards are a lot tougher now than they were when that place was built.
Oil separators, settling tanks, etc. Permits, inspections.
Kids come down from the hills with their mud-covered 4x4's and load the system with mud.
Poor folks dumping household trash.

The self-serve local to me has a full time attendant.

Got it figured out. I'm gonna use my new laser to cut the roofing panels off.

It is only 5 feet long, and weighs 250+lbs. Gonna have to be a pretty big frickin' shark to carry that thing around on its head.

Mount it on the Jeep.
Make a good road huntin' rig.
Prolly cook up some dandy backstrap with one well-placed shot.

I definitely see a reality TV thing happening here.
