Cowl rust

I have some signs of rust in the cowl of my truck, how can you get in there to remove it? It looks completely sealed.

There's a good chance it's spotwelded in place then seam sealed so there's no leaks, I haven't pulled one off in a while, but if you can get it without destroying it, sodablasting would be the best way to clean it up.

Well, you'll have to remove it, then sodablast it, after that give it a good shot of an epoxy primer and repaint.
