you sand the ****... i hope there is a welded piece of steel behind all that filler. cause if there is not you will need to weld in plate to shave the molding, then do your body work with filler. IM me if you need more help.

if you're gonna redo it, you can use a propane torch to heat it, and chisle it away. if you havent before, weld sheetmetal so that there isnt too much filler on there or else it can crack.

Just to let you know, DA stands for "dual action" sander.
