    Radiator support, lh and rh apron replacement

    wish I would have thought of that before I bought the new support. Oh well. Got the Eastwood Spotweld cutter in today. Looks nice. Anyone on here tell me just how to use it? I am guessing to center it up on the weld and go at it? How deep are you supposed to go with it? Thanks
