Bedside therapy
Gang,
I'm working on the bed of a 1961 flareside. I'm in the process of removing fenders after I noticed there was no fender welt. That's where things turned bad. After stripping a couple and breaking off another, I decided to cut off remaining bolts. You guessed it, I didn't realize the bolts are somehow welded to the bedsides. I now have a real mess on my hands. I've done a search on this subject but can only find one reference to this problem. So I have a bunch of these bolts ground flush on the back side and need to know how to remove them. Or do they need to have the heads ground off.I
