I just center punched the elevator bolt heads and drilled it with a 5/16" (anything larger than 1/4") drill bit. You only have to drill about 1/4" deep and the head comes right off. Then you can take a pin punch and push the bolt straight through the frame.

On the upside down bolts in the c-channel I used a Dremel tool to cut the square nut in half and then pushed the bolt through.

The hardest ones so far have been the rusted phillips head sheet metal screws in the channel. I've had to grind some of them off with the Dremel tool.
