Hoping I can find some advice. I'm fabbing a dash insert for my 67. I need to grind down some spots (welds) but they are on the inside of the insert on the sides. I've done most of the welding from the back, but I have a few bumps to knock down. I have an air tool with what I think is a 3 inch wheel. Too tight of a spot to use it. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Kevin

I've got a Dremil, seems like it wouldn't do well on this. Maybe I'm not using the right accessories......

Correct, there are tons of Dremel products. They have everything from mini cutoff wheels to carbide burrs. I use them a lot in tight spaces.

Thanks for the help. I'll run by Lowe's and check out what they have.
