the trick is to cut of short sections and weld them up as you go to maintain panel alighnment.

your cutting the hooks off not the rail ?
if just the hooks why not drill out the riverts :)

just take the hooks off, it looks so much better with just the rail..
theres two types of hooks, early modles have a pressed sheet metal hooks that have 2 spot welds and 1 small weld at the top.. i got mine off with a spot weld removing drill bit and cut the top weld with a thin cutting disc. the late models ones are made of round bar and have two stitch welds.

im cutting the rail off too
i like the idea of doing it piece by piece i have also been told to heaps of little tacks, so that the pannel doesnt heat up and warp

i recon it will look best with no rail at all

you lose alot of the structural strength of the traywalls by removing the top lip and smoothing it.
