How heavy is the metal? Is sandblasting as much as you are able an option?

Is it a light enough guage you can open the joint to clean it somehow and close it back up with a hammer prior to soldering?
Can't sandblast, but opening the joint is a good idea...I'll try to pop the spot welds apart or drill them out and pry the joint open to clean it. It's just light sheet metal, 12ga..10ga max, hammering it or clamping it back togehter should be no problem.

Here's a cross section of the construction:
