Subject: Lower Front Trim Piece

Hey folks,
I've dismantled the entire front end of the 72 Gremlin
except for the lower trim piece under the bumper. 
I've a sinking feeling it's spot welded on as I can
figure out how it's removed.  Now, having said that,
part of it is caked with grease from years of
antifreeze/freon and road dirt so maybe I'm missing
the obvious.  It's got a nice dent in it on the
drivers side.

Anyone have any insight into how to get that piece
off?

Thanks.

The best way IF it IS spot welded - is to go to your local
auto-body supply store and buy some spot weld drills / cutters.

These drill bits are barrel shapes - hollow inside - with a cutter
edge.  The drill around the spot weld - a hole saw for spot welds.

When you go to reassemble - use a spot welder or wire feed 
and just fill in the holes.

Forget prying it apart and that Dremel thing - and trying to
drill the weld out with a regular drill bit - as the weld is 
hardened.
