welding and LEAD!

What is the best way to remove lead from a panel to be welded?
I'm repairing my rocker panel and there is a coating of lead on the area that I am butt welding.

Heres what I have tried.

Grinder: can't go to far because I don't want the metal to be to thin. Just seems to move the lead around.
Wire wheel: NG
Torches: To heat and then tried a wire brush and a rag while still hot.
This lead is giving me grief because MIG welding just isn't gonna work untill it's gone....

Any help on this one would be great!

Thanks! as usual...................................
