How to remove front fender support?
I searched to no avail. The front fender support appears to be brazed on with brass? Do I melt it off with a map torch, then clean it up with a wire wheel? Or is there some other method that's better?
Important details: '68 car, current support is toast at the bottom and at the outer edge. Danke!

If you'll use a plastic fibrous grinding wheel, like the ones made by "Gator" that can be sourced at the local building supply (for paint removal) I think you'll see more of the spot welds than I can already see in that photo.

This is what I am talking about. Make sure it fits your equipment. The cheap ones can be found at your local Harbor Freight. What I've found (and been instructed) in using them is that when they are new, try to use them on the long flat areas, and as they wear down and get smaller in diameter THEN try to get into the tight spots/curved radius types of areas to get the most use out of them.
Once you find the spot welds its just a matter of using a die grinder and grind down the welded spots. The rest of it will release once you've got the spots down.
