On my 71, it appears the tailpanel is leaded to the quarter. If I am right, what is the best/ proper way to remove that to clean up the quarters for a new panel? also, is using an aluminum based filler what you're all using there? Thanks!!

Not sure if you can see it there. I didnt grind on it much yet.

Mine (73) was leaded also, I used a propane torch,and wire brush to melt away lead,and then ground off remaining lead to clean it up
 
my 71 demon is the same way. I think Eastwood company has a lead kit to replace it, or I have seen people use filler. The problem with the filler is that it always cracks in that spot eventually so the lead is the absolute best way to go even though it is kinda hard to work with.
