I don't know about using a torch...Seems to me like you would warp the sheet-metal badly.
If you look back to page #1 of my thread, I used a twisted wire wheel in a small Dewalt grinder, and it didn't go too bad, it seemed to take it right off if you leaned into it a bit....In the tight corners I used a twisted wire brush made for a die-grinder that had the wires sticking out from the face of it, but put it in a 90-grinder....Don't skimp on the face/eye protection though, because after a while the wires start letting go! As far as I can remember I and/or my son did it in 4-5 hours, and if you look later in the build thread when it is painted, it looks stellar!
