Anyone got pics of how they cleaned up the old brakets left behinf from the gas tank?

I took the gas tank out from behind the seat of my 60 Apache and I'm wanting to clean up the brakets that are left behind once the tank is removed. Anybody got pics of what they did or any suggestions / ideas?

I thought I had a pic, but I took a 4 inch grinder with the thin cut out wheel and zipped them off, ground down what was left and then did my paint on the floor.

Yea I was afraid to mess with it much since it was serving as reinforcement as well.
