Lead is basically solder without the tin. Heat the area with an acetylene torch (soft flame and keep it moving) until it's soft (a propane torch should work as well), then while in the plastic state, scrape it off the panel into a container. Use a wooden paddle (or tongue depresser if you will) dipped in some ATF so it doesn't stick.
Wear eye and hand protection and don't breathe the fumes. Do this outdoors if possible. After the area cools, they'll still be a thin layer of tin on the sheet metal. You can sand this off using regular mechanical methods until you get down to the base metal. Again, don't ingest any lead dust otherwise you'll be thinking of nothing but Porsches from now on.
Hope this helps,
Sherwood
