I agree with leathermang you need to attack your car with an angle grinder with a wire brush attachment. This part of the car needs to be in really good condition - it needs to be structurally sound.

Although you will probably appear to be cause more damage to the car - by attacking it with a grinder - you need to know how strong it is. Weld any repairs that are necessary - don't be tempted to fill it with epoxy...
