Well, I got the new lower valence panel installed, and it looks good. I used a flap disk to remove those little disks, which worked fine. The HF spot weld cutter drill ($5.29 or so) also worked fine. I ended up buying and using the HF 240 volt electrical spot welder. I had no problems with it, either. The only downside was that I had to completely clean both sides of the new and existing metal, so there could be a good electrical connection. Annoyingly, this included having to scrape off a bunch of undercoating and tarry sealer.
It probably wasn't worth spending the money for the welder just for this one job, but it let me re-live the experience of using one back in 9th grade shop class...
