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.

Wow! Another great method. Maybe even easier than using the sawzall or the grinder since the belly pan wouldn't need to be off and one doesn't need to breath lots of smoke!
I just bought a dremel tool and lots of bolts in the u-channel are up ahead. What attachment to the dremel did you find works the best for this?
