Jhickson- lol

What tool do you use to grind down the welds? I got to post some of my improvement pictures. I've been using a sheet of 22 gauge steel to mess around with even though it thicker then a body panel but it works to practice.
I found that OSH sells a really cool sand paper type of grinding wheel. It makes cleaner grinds then a regular grinding wheel. Also done grind in one spot too long cuz you can warp the metal that way too.
