57 TRUNK SHEET METAL

[Bruce Stubblefield <audiblefeast@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
    I have to remove the trunk sheet metal from a '57
sedan parts car, but have never done anything like
this.  Can sheet metal pieces be split apart at spot
welds or brazing points?  I see in the repair section
that sheet metal is often sealed together with lead. 
Does this mean lead solder brazing?  If so, does that
mean the best way to get a panel out is to melt/remove
the lead solder with a  torch?   Do I try to split
apart the pieces at the seams at the fender edges, or
do I cut out more than I need (wreaking the ajoining
sheet metal) and cut or shave it down to fit my car
when I install it?  Or none of the above?  If I'm
supposed to cut the pieces out, would a
Sawsall(reciprocating saw) with a metal cutting blade
be a good cutting tool, or should I use a oxy/acet.
torch?  
     
THANKS!
