How do YOU slot bolt holes?

So I've been thinking about it the last few days. With the resto work I do often I have to slot bolt holes for various things to get panels and so forth to line up correctly due to collision damage and poor factory fitment. The process always seems to take me forever or cost me a couple bucks.

If it's a thing piece of metal like sheet metal a lot of times I'll try a cutoff wheel on a dremel but I still end up chewing up a number of wheels.

On thicker pieces I'll either try a cutoff wheel, sometimes I try to hog it out sideways with a drill bit but that takes forever, and sometimes I just curse at it til it falls out on it's own!

What's everyone else's methods? How well do they work for you?
